This is fantastic. I had a power outage last night and the beeping woke me up at 4am. Who do we need to petition to get the beep control settings to become part of the unraid menu? I've wanted to turn it off since the first time it beeped at me 3 years ago :)

Was that always located there as well or was it moved to this location in place of the Plugins location? Thanks for the quick reply

Perhaps I am missing something obvious. When updating from earlier versions, I would check on the plugins tab for unRAID updates. Now when I click on the plugins tab I see "no plugins installed". Now that 6.5 is released I am at a loss for how to "Check for updates". Can someone help me out please?

Changing the paths under the advanced options did indeed solve the problem. I think my biggest hang up was that the VM tab was completely blank. There should really be some simple text in there to direct a user on what's going on, where to go to enable/fix, etc. A little guidance within the UI would help a lot I would expect. Thanks again for the helpful direction

I tried again with the same result. The odd thing about my experience that differs from the above is nothing is shown in my "VMs" tab, it is a white screen. There is not an apparent way to even make a new VM. My first instinct is the way I made the VMs. It was early in Unraid support of VMs, and I followed a forum guide that had me mount the VM drive in the go file, outside of Unraid web ui. Is this a problem? Anyways, I would appreciate a little help if someone is willing to have a look. I'm still trying to make sense of it.

Good Morning, I decided to upgrade from 6.3.5 to 6.4.1 last night and following a reboot my VM and plugin tabs did not populate anything. The tabs loaded up a white page. I then tried to remote into my Windows VM only to find it didn't boot :(. I immediately rolled back to 6.3.5 as I needed the server to be running. I plan on retrying this afternoon and if I hit this scenario again, what information will I need to pull in order to troubleshoot this issue?

It has been over a month without a lockup. I would say the file system change has solved my issue. Thanks all for the comments and directing me to a solution.

Well, all my drives are converted to xfs I'll keep you guys posted......fingers crossed

Converting all disks to xfs was not done because of the comment that followed... If this will solve the problem I would go buy another hdd today and get moving in that direction...

Asking for more $$ to get it to work the way it should does not sound like a good solution. I'll try here again in the hopes that someone can help me solve this before I have to move on to another solution. Attached is my log file from my current hanging server. Any thoughts? SMBD is hanging at 100% (can I just restart SMBD?) right now making my web ui and shares unreachable. I'm able to ssh in, but poweroff command never works so I must reboot the system manually which makes me cringe ever other day I have to do it https://dl.orangedox.com/TDVufYbfyLnvcfF8yW

BUMP. My server is nearly unusable at this point. If I interact with my shares there is a great chance that my server is going to hang. I need support, sooner rather than later. Being a paid user what are my support options because the forums, while great, are not solving my underlying issue

While I continue to expierence issues with my server, I figured it would be a good time to post me VM xml. I created this way back in 6.0RC days and it has functioned as I would hope. Keep in mind I have no clue what I was doing, piecing things together from this site as I went along. Is all of this still accurate? I also noticed in my array a new folder called "system/libvitr" with libvirt.img file in it (1gb) that was created in September and last modified yesterday. Not sure what that is about. Anyway, I'm searching for my instability and might be way off track.

Bumping, anyone have any thoughts? I'm considering making the file system switch when I get the chance to buy another drive.

Another day, another server hang. This time it is SMBD pegged again. Diagnostics logs attached. This really feels like 6.3 is not for me. Looking for direction from the almighty users on this forum to get me stable again. Really hating this experience right now. unraid-diagnostics-20170213-1821.zip

Locked up again, this time shfs was pegged. got me a diagnostics zip this time. Really need some help stabilizing this mess. unraid-diagnostics-20170212-0008.zip

I am not opposed to migrating to a different file system. I use ReiserFS because, well unraid made me at one time Is there an official way to accomplish this? Will I need extra storage while the migration takes place?

Thankyou for the information. I have since rebooted, but I'm sure this will occur again. I was unsuccessful in using a "shutdown now" command from ssh as well, needed to use the reset button

For the second day in a row my shares and web ui have stopped responding. Both times I was copying some files over smb to an external HDD on my laptop running Windows 10. After SSHing into the box I ran top and noticed SMBD is pegged at 100. I am going to attach the system log, but I don't see anything useful in there. What can I do to capture this error as I'm sure it will happen again? Unraid 6.3.0 I looked for tools/diagnostics as a forum header but came up empty, assuming this is something within the web ui which is unreachable http://pastebin.com/QCDt1ZrQ

Still having system lockups here, running 6.1.3 with no success. It would be at least a little comforting to know that I'm getting a little support for a paid product here. Is anyone out there? Judging by the repeat "system lock up/hangs" topics recently there appears to be an issue that is not yet addressed.

I'm having similar issues but only when I'm interacting with file shares on my windows VM. Before doing all that why not copy your config files back to 5 and see if it still works there.

My recreate holds. I was able to hang the system again by doing the following From a Windows 10 laptop, browse my VM Windows share (Windows 8 Pro on unRAID kvm with shared passed through drive) Located a video file and double clicked to play. File never started Closed and repeated. Attempted to close windows explorer, hung Server no longer available on my network, web server down, ssh/telnet down, etc Rebooted server, VM files location were incorrect and failed to load without modification.

I've tried ssh, but not a telnet session. If it happens again, I will be sure to look and post my results in my thread. I don't want to hijack this one in case they are different issues, just wanted to link them

Sounds very similar to my experience outlined herehere

Thanks. So I updated to 6.1.2 and had the same thing happen. My recreate this time (and similar the last time). I was on ly laptop and was browsing a file share I created on my Windows Virtual Machine running within unRAID I double clicked a video file to play and it appeared to try and load the file. A short wait and I closed the video player and tried to close Windows Explorer, it hung Explorer crashed, I attempted to browse the file share again on the Windows Virtual Machine The network location was unreachable and my video playback on my TV stopped at the same time. unRAID was unreachable at this point via ssh I plugged in a monitor and say unraid was still functional and sent a shutdown command. When I booted back up unRAID came up fine, but the locations for the OS Install ISO and Primary vDisk Location were not set correctly (was set to a previous Windows VM I had installed) This settings mistake has occured each time this lock up happens. I changes the locations to the correct ones and the VM bots up. Attached are logs 1. System becomes unresponsive 2. System boots up with wrong VM settings VM incorrect settings photo

Thanks you, I will do this. However my original question still stands. How do I go about troubleshooting this if it occurs again?
