Ok, so I went to memtest website and downloaded latest version put that on a stick and it ran ok, it stopped after 43 errors and said failed! So now running again with one stick! Will keep you posted! Thanks again for your help!

With CSM enabled in the BIOS it just reboots, with CSM disabled it just sits there saying "Loading /memtest... ok" and goes no further!

6.12.14?

Ok, so memtest won't run!! It just reboots the machine and takes me back to the boot menu?

Ok thanks, I'll give that a try!

Hi, the server started crashing again daily, so I made time to reformat the cache drive to btrfs. Unfortunately, that has made no difference! As I just don't have money to throw away at the moment, so any ideas on what to replace first? Bear in mind that it has recently had new RAM and a new SFP+ NIC.

Hi, I have a small issue with NUT that came to light this weekend in the big storm we had here in the UK. We had 4 power cuts lasting between 1 and 2.5 hours each, each time the server waited until the UPS reached 25% and then shutdown cleanly, but it didn't power off the UPS as it is set to do, so the server didn't automatically restart when the power returned! It protects the server as it should, just annoying that it doesn't come back up when power returns, especially when I'm away! UPS is a Riello Vision Rack 1100 driver is riello_usb Thanks, Tim

No sorry! Changed ISP to get fibre and their IPv6 doesn’t work! So can’t test! ☹️

Oops, here they are!🤣 syslog-10.19.64.2.log syslog-10.19.64 2.2.log

Hi, so I changed the replication destination to the other cache drive instead of the array and it ran for over a month without crashing! Much better! It crashed and corrupted the flash drive though and also blacklisted it as well which was weird! The first syslog is from then, which was a couple of weeks ago! It then crashed again yesterday, the second syslog is from then! I think it's possibly the same old zfs issue? I'm trying to decide whether to stick with zfs and see if V7 brings improvement, but I'm not holding out much hope after reading the release notes for the beta! Or give up and go back to btrfs and xfs?

Ok, lol, something I have noticed is that it always happens at 01:05 in the morning, I use the Spaceinvaderone script to do snapshots and replication, and that starts for the appdata folder at 01:00 each morning. It always seems to do the snapshots successfully and fails and crashes the system on replication! The cache drive SSD where the appdata folder is is zfs and one of the hard drives in the array is zfs and that is where it replicates too! So not sure what to change to fix/test etc? As I have a feeling that stopping replication will fix the issue, but then I'll have no backup! Or is there now a better way? Thanks for your help as always! 🙂

Ok, so 23 days this time! Definitely progress, but would really like it not to crash at all! I can see that it's still a zfs issue? Do I need to abandon zfs and go back to xfs? There is no point in these new features if they make the OS unstable! syslog-10.19.64.2.log tower-diagnostics-20240809-1029.zip

How long would I need to leave it in safe mode? As I couldn't for more than 2 days as the server runs my phone system! Ok, I had noticed that ZFS Master often stops displaying anything, usually the day before the system crashes, so I've removed it to see what happens!

Ok, so it stayed up 9 days this time! Logs attached! I'm hoping that eventually, something will show!! syslog-10.19.64.2.log tower-diagnostics-20240712-1126.zip

Ok thanks Jorge, but the system has currently been up for 6 days and couldn't be without it for that long! I would have to leave it at least a couple of weeks to know if it's worked!

Thanks, but nothing new in that thread. It's not quite the same issue as random reboots, which would definitely point at hardware PSU issues, but system crashing is just as likely to be software-related!

Ok, so I thought I'd fixed this but it seems not!! It's now way beyond frustrating, I've now replaced the NIC that I thought was the cause and replaced all the RAM and still Unraid is unstable! I actually think it's the most unstable system I've had! Even worse than Windows 95/98!! So here are the logs etc. Do I need to remove ZFS? I'm wondering if ZFS was a step too far for Unraid? syslog-10.19.64.2.log tower-diagnostics-20240703-1240.zip

Ok, so I've possibly answered my own question! I bound the networking card to VIFO and the system then automatically switched all the network setup to the integrated NIC on the motherboard, it hasn't crashed since, 8 days and counting! So it looks like it was the TP-Link PCIe card, one of the only original cards! The RAM is original but tested ok, I'm replacing it anyway and doubling the amount while I'm at it! That'll teach me to use TP-Link stuff, I've always had trouble with it, bad firmware usually! I guess because I kept reading about all the networking issues around Macvlan I was wrongly blaming unRAID! Thanks to those who helped and made me think to check over the hardware again!! Cheers, Tim

Ok, well I've had these issues since 6.10 came out whenever that was! I gave up trying to use VMs it was just too much hassle, they worked perfectly in 6.9! It's recently had a new motherboard, but that changed nothing, other than I now have working USB ports! I guess I can run Memtest, but that'll have to wait until the weekend as I can't do without the server during the week! I've moved most stuff from Unraid as my experience of it has been so bad, I'm running some things on a RaspberryPI now and that is way more reliable! I guess I'll keep removing things as putting everything in one place was a mistake! All that said, I'd love to get it working like it used to where it was months between reboots not days! I guess my question is if it's RAM why did it get worse when I changed the networking?

Yes, bridging is disabled?

Yes, I am? Thought the issues with that were fixed a while back?

Hi, I'm having an issue with Unraid crashing a lot more than usual at the moment! I think it's something to do with networking, as I did have it setup bonding the 2 NICs together as my switch supports LAGs, but a couple of weeks ago I removed the LAG thinking it might help with stability, but it's made it worse! It was crashing every few weeks, now it crashes every couple of days!! I can see issues in the logs and hoping that someone can tell me what they mean?

Hi All, my server suddenly crashed this afternoon 1st March at just before 18:00! Not sure why, wasn't doing anything unusual. Hopefully someone can see why from my logs? Cheers, Tim tower-diagnostics-20240301-2125.zip syslog-10.19.64.2.log.1

No one? 🙂

Hi, I noticed that I no longer get an ipv6 address in my VM's and when looking at network settings there isn't a ipv6 route for vhost, is this intentional? Will I break something if I add one? Cheers, Tim
