The syslog in the diagnostics is the RAM version that starts afresh every time the system is booted. You should enable the syslog server (probably with the option to Mirror to Flash set) to get a syslog that survives a reboot so we can see what leads up to a crash. The mirror to flash option is the easiest to set up (and if used the file is then automatically included in any diagnostics), but if you are worried about excessive wear on the flash drive you can put your server's address into the remote server field.
That's what I did. I've been exporting the syslogs to my desktop using win-syslog server running there.
But I'll set it to export to the flash drive and see what comes up.

My unRAID server just keeps randomly freezing up and rebooting. It started off happening 1 time. I just figured it was a power flicker and/or the UPS wigged out. Rebooted it and it was fine. About 3 weeks later I woke up to notice Plex wasn't responding so I tried to login and it had froze. Rebooted and it was fine. About 1 week later and it did it again. Now it's every 30 minutes to 1 hour. It'll come up and be fine every time with no clues as to what errors might be causing it.
I haven't made any changes recently.
The only error I get is a Machine Check that tells me my CPU (Ryzen 5800x) isn't supported and I need to download a different plugin? But when I look into it, I've seen my version of unRAID (latest stable) it is supported and that error really doesn't mean anything. Also I've been getting that error since I installed this over a year ago and it hasn't been a problem.
Things I've tried:
Exporting Syslogs to my desktop
-No clues
Stopping all Dockers and VM's
-With all Dockers and VM's stopped it stayed on long enough for me to backup my dockers to my desktop but otherwise will froze and
rebooted after about 1.5 hours.
Safemode-Still freezes
Disabled XMP Profile
-No changeChecked SSD scrubbing and balancing
-No change
I've exported my diags below. Maybe someone here smarter than me can make sense of what might be going on.
I'm currently running a memtest but it's now 5am and I can't keep going. Gonna let it run till it's finished.
I'm going to catch some sleep and I'll be back, so if I don't reply quickly that would be why.And thanks in advanced to any kind souls who wonder in here in an attempt to help!

I'm trying to setup my Synology NAS to act as a Syslog server for my unRAID (and vice versa). Synology has an app for this but it's asking for the Log format.
Does anyone know what format I should pick here?

just finished adding a Dell MD1200 storage array to my server using a H200 HBA SAS card !!! I can now add 12 more SAS or SATA drives and it takes full size HDD's as well so bring on the cheap high capacity SAS drives guys!!
Look at eBay. I found 10 2tb SAS for $75 all brand new still sealed.
Company was selling them because they were out of warranty. They apparently order in bulk and keep them on site for hot swap replacements. But once they hit end of warranty they basically trash em.

Mostly just trying to see if this is possible. I want to setup a Windows Server 2016 VM and I'd like to direct pass 2 2TB drives and have one mirrored.
I currently have an ESXi box running a single windows VM and I'm going to migrate all the data to the unRAID box as I'm about to move and sell my data center rack. So I'm wanting to compress all my servers to 1 box and sell off all my other servers. But I don't want my Windows VM to only be on one drive in case of drive failures.
I'm going to give the windows server the entire drives. So hopefully 2TB's of storage on it. I have both drives formatted in unassigned devices and I can't figure out how to set this up. If someone can point me in the right direction or if you know how to do it and wanna setup a discord chat or something for guidance that'd be swell too.

@SundarNET Idk if you'll see this but I just ordered a LOT of hard drives off eBay. 10 new HP server SAS 2TB drives.
The drives are formatted into 520 block size because HP hates everyone but themselves. I couldn't get them to read but after a LOT of googling I found this users thread and his instructions helped a crap load. I have now added an extra 20TB of space to my shares.
Thanks bud!

As someone who just ordered a Supermicro 4U (My listing specifically mentions unRAID in the title though)
How has your experience been so far? I'm thinking about swapping the motherboard is comes with one I have as a secondary gaming computer.Built it for the living room originally but low and behold no one uses it. The board in it has a dual socket xeon setup 12 cores. But I have an 1800x I can slap in it if I can see how difficult it is to put a standard mATX motherboard in it.

That's still the syslog
It's not unRaid. It's Marvel. They are a company that bangs out cheap controllers en masse and don't particularly care about driver support (similar to Realtek) As kernel versions increase, problems become more prevalent. LSI is recommended
But, sans diagnostics, you may (if not using VMs with passthrough) get better success by disabling VT-x and IOMMU (VT-d) in the BIOS.
I followed the guide through the unraid wiki... Still not sure what file you need. Also I went ahead and ordered a Supermicro 4u 24 bay server from ebay that specifically specified it was setup for unraid. So we'll see how that goes.
For future reference how do I get the log I'll need in the future?

Full diagnostics are far far better than a simple syslog.
But, it does appear that you are running a Marvel controller which hasn't been recommended for use for a couple of years now.
Let me get a full diag. (attached)
Sorry I'm a little flustered.
I've been using those SATA controllers for years is it normal for unRAID to just drop support on some of them?

I recently updated the unRAID server I have to 6.7.2 and now none of my disks are showing up except for an SSD that's plugged into the motherboard directly. (Used as a UD for VMs.)
I'm not sure where to start troublshooting this. The only change I've made was updating my unRAID installation. I have about 7TB's of data I don't want to recover from backups.
I've attached my system logs and it would be swell if someone could help me out.
I'd like to note I use 2 of these for my disks.
-
None of the data is irreplaceable. It'd just be a PITA to re-download all of it. I will definitely have notifications setup by the end of tonight.
What I think I'm going to do it get a 5-6tb external and transfer everything over that I can as the shares are still up and functioning. The only data that should be on the dead disk is some steam cache content. Then just nuke and rebuild the whole thing from the ground up so I can set it up correctly this time. Unless yall have a better idea.
-
I'm aware. I was replacing the worst drives first.
I know my situation is dire. Really didn't expect a new drive to crap itself mid setup.

Your new disk6 is failing, same for the parity disk, which also has read errors, if the old disks were also failing there's going to be some data loss.
The parity was next to be replaced since it's still passing SMART tests. Disk 6 is the new disk that is apparently a lemon and it only has roughly 5.5GB of data and I know what that data is and I'm ok losing it. The problem I'm having is that unRAID will not let me start the array without Disk6 since Disk2 is currently building. Idealy I'd like to just delete disk6 and then take the drive back to the store and replace it.

Of course we do. Tools - Diagnostics, post complete zip.
Most likely you have disturbed a connection. You should always check and recheck all connections any time you go into the case.
I'm downloading the Diagnostics now. It'll probably take a while, but as for the connections it's a case with a back plane. I don't have to open it up to swap drives. The original drive is completely dead it was spun down and being emulated so putting it back wouldn't really do anything. I originally thought it was weird I had 2 failed drives in the same socket so I hooked the new one up to the motherboard directly outside the case and it still shows the same errors it did in the bad socket. So I don't think it's the socket. I'll post the diagnostics as soon as I can.

So I got three 3TB Hard drives to replace some older and smaller drives in my unRAID.
I put one in and had it added to the array and rebuilt it took roughly 20 hours. Everything was successful, 8 green dots! and all my shares protected.
Cool!
So I do the same process to replace another drive with another 3TB.
Said it would take another 20 hours so I get it started then go to bed. Woke up went to work. Came home and then log into unRAID expecting to start the third and last drive but I had errors everywhere and the first 3TB is throwing SMART test failed and the expected build to completion is at this time sitting at 160 Days.
With 1 drive being built in as the new one and another failing unRAID won't let me just pull the bad one and put in the other new one. I'm not sure what my options are. There's only 6GB of data on the bad one and it's running at 114KB/s for it's build. I'm not sure what my options are but I would like to swap out the bad drive for the other 3TB and go back to Microcenter and get a replacement drive but unRAID won't let me do that.
Let me know if you need anymore information from me. I have remote access to my unRAID but not physical at this time. I can get whatever screen shots or logs you need.
I know my situation is dire. Really didn't expect a new drive to crap itself mid setup.
My server is crashing seemingly randomly and I can't figure out why.

Memtest passed without errors btw.
