I'm getting dozens of segfaults hourly just when the mailer script has to run. I'm fairly new to linux and have no idea what could cause this. Attached the syslog I hope someone can give me a hand here. i'm running 5b12a syslog-2011-09-28.txt

Run a tail -f /var/log/syslog While the server is running and leave it up. It will capture the last thing that goes across the screen if/when the server crashes next. is /var/log/syslog reboot-safe? I've just rebooted to add the plus license and my logs disappeared.. shouldn't I tail these to the cache drive?

I have a firmware called "tomato" on my WRT54GS for like 6-7 years or so, never had any issues. I got my server back after a reboot but other clients had no problem connecting to the network, unRAID never froze on me before Transmission. I believe we can exclude the router here

The log level was set to 0, the paths were modified, but everything else was left at default settings.

Today I was messing around with my torrents, some of them were already added to Transmission while I was copying the rest from my computer to the unRAID. The Transmission was configured to reside on the disk1 and the torrents on the /mnt/user/torrents share. After about an hour my network dropped (I was at work) When I got home I saw the server was frozen solid, screen is blank, NIC LED was blinking like there was no tomorrow. Unfortunately no syslog as I had to do a hard reboot. unRAID 5b12a. My server was running fine without the Transmission package, and I had the same issue with the last version. Has anyone experienced similar?

Thanks for the feedback

I don't think you can, but if it's possible here's how: net use x: /d net use x: \\yourservernamehere Paste these in a .cmd and add it to your startup in the start menu. Of course you can look up the use of net use yourself by entering net use /? in the cmd prompt.

My config is a HP Proliant Microserver, I can think of the driver for the NIC, it's a Broadcom BCM5723 (HP NC107i). As I said I had no issues when this box was running Windows. It's the write speed I was talking about, the read is not that important to me it's just for storing media, and backups. It can stream 1080p with Twonky without any issues.

For me it was one of the first things to check. It's 1000/full. Now I'm getting speeds from 25-30 MB/s which is acceptable but I've read other topics saying about 40-50. I just want to know where the bottleneck is or what to check.

For my case I'm 100% sure it's not the disks since when I was experimenting with Windows Server 2008 R2 the speeds were much faster.

From Windows I had a HP 6730b notebook, so some lousy 5400 2.5" disk probably, I don't even care. Still 10-12 MB/s is slower than USB2, so that's clearly an issue. My Mac has a WD15FALS disk, 7200 with decent cache. To a Windows server my copy was about the double. The network is Gigabit, cables are Cat6. NIC speed is auto, auto-negotiated to 1000/full. No cache drive in the unRAID server obviously.

I was getting about the same from Windows, but from Mac OS 10.6.8 it's somewhere between 25-30 MB/s
