So been a week without any crashes and I the only thing I added was some fans blowing directly onto the HBA. Have a feeling it was overheating and causing a full lock. Will wait another week before calling this one solved!

No worries! will make sure to do that when she locks up!

much appreciated. I can see a log file being populated in the directory I added "local syslog folder" setting which is on my array. and I have "localhost" as the remote server so seems like I should be good the next time it hangs.

Sorry if I'm being an idiot, but is the screenshot in the post not my syslog server settings?

Server has been perfect for years. Only change I've made recently is adding an HBA for more drives: https://amzn.to/4r38ruu Drives show up fine with the HBA but for the second time now in a week server has fully locked up. Only way to recover is a hard shut down and boot back on. I've enabled the syslog server so that hopefully whatever is causing this will persist in the log, but just want to make sure that's all I need to to do catch the problem. Is there any other way to see why this is happening? Attached the diagnostics file as well if that can help. limnas-diagnostics-20260120-0842.zip

I have tried a couple other solutions like: Disabled PCIe ACS Override (to get rid of the error on top) Tools > System Devices > Bind selected to VFIO at boot If I Bind the above then the VM starts but can't detect the Audio device Editing the VMs XML file to match the slot and function + adding multifunction on Made no difference Any help would be appreciated!

Saved my life (again) @Hoopster how on earth did you figure this out 🤣

I think this has been discussed above and might be a permissions thing but try: sudo nano /boot/config/go

No problem at all I mainly plagiarised @Hoopster but i'll take it

Are you using stock Unraid or the Linuxserver version?

Damn that is strange and would bug me out too. I almost never say this but I’m wondering if it’s a hardware issue. Only reason I’m thinking that is you’re having a difficult time getting to BIOS. QuickSync should really help by making your machine more efficient and not slowing down the other containers when transcoding. Shot in the dark here but you wouldn’t happen to have another CPU to test? Another shot in the dark is your NAS plugged directly into the wall socket and getting clean power? Quick Sync shouldn’t be drawing too much power but I’ve also seen weird issues crop on when machines aren’t getting clean power, more on GPUs though

Did you run the mod probe command?

Cryptic? I’m not sure what’s more explicit than it being number one on the pre-requisites. Let me know which part you found confusing and I’ll try to elaborate more

I doubt the B2 tier would. As you pay for what you use. Regarding BackBlaze Desktop - they do say unlimited and I've seen posts where people are uploading a lot, but not sure TBH.
