I contacted the supplier which thankfully stated that i can return the board and there is no hurry. I also reached out to Biostar tech support and am waiting for a reply from them. Meanwhile i also bought a Silverstone sst ecs06 pci card which offers 6 sata ports and is based on the asm1166 chipset. In order to check the disks I connected the Toshiba drives to the Silverstone card. They work as expected. The Sandisk SSD and WD drives are connected to the Biostar Sata ports and unfortunately the WD drives started reporting the same errors. Connected both WD drives to the Silverstone sata ports and voila they work. It seems to me that either the board is defective or the sata ports are flaky. I will wait for Biostar to reply but if this takes to long i will return the board and get a other brand with 4 sata ports. this journey is not fun. I had a disabled drive in the array twice and a disk which cannot be mounted due to an unrecognized filesystem. fortunately i could recover the data. Now i am still waiting for one disk of which the data is being reconstructed. Scary times.

Hi, I tried different combinations, all 4 Toshiba MG07/M08 (14TB) SATA drivers do not work, not in SATA ports 1-4 nor in 5-8. Weird enough the WD Red Plus (4TB) do work in all ports. It is like the Toshiba and Biostar in this MB is a bad marriage. Also the 120GB SSD SanDisk SDSSDA120G caused problems. All drivers are recognised by the BIOS and in Unraid. It is when the drivers are mounted that the error messages appear. I have had enough, going to return this MB thanks for your help!

only for the ssd's and these were in the old system as well. i also upgraded to the Cooler Master GX III Gold 650W from the 550W Thermaltake I used before. also the drives work perfectly in the setup using a LSI PCI SAS-SATA card. Could it still be a power related issue?

Hi All, I need some help with my new setup, it is a biostar b760mx2-e pro d4 mainboard with an Intel 14500 CPU. Choose this MB because of the 8 SATA ports and now I am starting to get insane because of issues reporting in the logs. SATA ports 9, 11 and 12 are reporting issues: ata12.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x4000 SErr 0x0 action 0x6 frozen [ 141.546681] ata12.00: failed command: READ FPDMA QUEUED [ 141.546685] ata12.00: cmd 60/08:70:40:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/40 tag 14 ncq dma 4096 in res 40/00:00:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/00 Emask 0x4 (timeout) [ 141.546701] ata12.00: status: { DRDY } I already tried different SATA cables and I am not sure what is causing the issue. The drives are used before I my previous build, in which I used a PCI LSI card to expand my SATA ports. As I was trying to minimize power consumption I tried without this card and use the 8 on board SATA ports. When I install this card and connect my drives the system is working just fine. In the BIOS the SATA ports are enabled and there are not much options the setup. Should I return the MB as this is simply defective or am I overlooking something ? I have included the Diagnostics file as well. richtech-diagnostics-20240826-2113.zip

@halorrr problem solved? My problem could be the IPVLan setting for Docker. I always used MACVLan. I installed 6.11.5 (which ran fine in the past) and first experienced the same crashes. I learned that new installs from 6.11.5 on have IPVLan as default, I changed it to MACVLan and now it is stable sofar.

Hi @halorrr, Just wanted to check, are you aware of the iGPU issue on 11th gen Intel CPU's on 6.12 ? https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/release-notes/6.12.0/#crashes-related-to-i915-driver I am not sure, but might it also be applicable to 12th gen, I cannot find any additional info.

Hi I am still struggling, the server ran 17 days without issues on 6.12.3. As I was on vacation, the WebGUI of Unraid was not used. When I got back and started using the WebGUI the server died in less then 2 days. I upgraded to 6.12.4 rc 18. It ran for 2,5 days and just died an hour ago. There are no nginx crashes in the syslog, only the “Stop running nchan processes“ message appears a couple of times. I am reverting back to 6.11.

@halorrr with the new USB Flas disk I am running 4 days now no problems. Will keep the system as-is for now as I am off on vacation in a couple of days. not all plugins are running, but the dockers and the vm for homeassistant is. I can provide more details if you need to have more info. in the logs I see Nginx crashes, but this seems to be a known issue. The system however is stable for now. So a fresh new usb stick, a new installation (no copying of files fron the old usb stick) seemed to solve the issue for me. regards Richard

@halorrr thank’s for letting me know. I created a new usb flashdrive using a samsung bar pro 32 gb and did not copy any files from the old usb device. Today I “downgraded” the cache drive to btrfs from zfs. This should enable me to downgrade if needed. the system is up for 1 day and 23 hrs now. Still on 6.12.3. I will keep you informed. in your case, if the downgrade to 6.11.5, which ran fine the past, still does not solve the problem, consider what us left to look at. 1. Any changes or upgrades to the BIOS? 2. The usb flash drive, is it still the same stick? Is it in an USB2 slot (USB3 causes problems in some cases) maybe do an extensive test using the tools from the ultimate boot usb https://www.pcwdld.com/ultimate-boot-cd-ubcd-review/

Hi , please provide additional information, you can start here. In this post provides help in troubleshooting and if you cannot solve your issue with these tips it also explains how to provide sufficient info to get help. Hopefully you are able to resolve your issues quickly.

I am starting to seeing a pattern @halorrr and @Hibiki Houjou and me are experiencing similar issues. The system freezes randomly, there is no change in the hardware. We are all on 6.12.2 or 6.12.3.

It seems you are having similar issues as @halorrr and myself. We are all on 6.12.3 and we experience system crashes, without anything in the log that is helpfull. I am investigating if the USB flash drive is to blame (as the hardware is not changed). Hopefully someone can help pinpoint the issue, find the root cause. I might return to 6.11 this weekend if we cannot make any progress.

I am still not out of the woods myself (if that is a saying). I replaced my flash drive with a Transcend jetflash 600 8gb. The system crashed within a couple of hours. i am unsure if the flashdrive is the issue. Now I am trying the Samsung Bar Pro 32 Gb. I use an usb2 port, no other devices are connected via usb2. I have created a complete new install and did not copy anything over from the original usb flash drive. currently there are no plugins active. The system is rebuilding parity now. I want to keep the system running a couple of days before i add plugins. I am curious whether this has solved it, but i am unsure. It certainly is not a good feeling that there is nothing in the logs.

Yesterday evening I noticed that unraid was reporting that the usb flash drive was disconnected. I found errors using dosfsck. I replaced the usb flash drive earlier this month, by a new Philips 32 gb one, when I upgraded to 6.12. I did this as the previous one was rather old. Now I know to keep away from the Philips branded 32 gb usb flash drives. @halorrr you might want to investigate the USB Flash drive as well the memory is not the culprit. The server is still running, no crashes. All plugins are enabled and runtime is 23 hrs.

@halorrr After 13hrs the system crashed again, so it seems I am in the same boat and we both are still having similar issues. I just started in safe mode. Now I am planning to wait at least 24hrs before I call it a victory and assume that the system is stable in safe mode. Currently Docker a minimum of docker containers (MQTT and Plex) and one VM (Home Assistant) are running. Do you have any updates?
