diagnostics show that interface eth2 link is active. Did everything jump ship to that?
-
Some board/cpu combinations can throw an MCE when brought up during a bootup. This may be the case here since it happens very early during the boot process. Try seeing if a new bios is available
-
Thats the correct place to look. Strange. You could try to delete both rsyslog.cfg and rsyslog.conf in the config directory on the flash drive and set up the "mirror syslog to flash" again. That will clear the syslog server settings and allow you to start over fresh.
I guess you could also try to setup a remote syslog server on another computer and have unraid send it there. kiwi syslog server seems to be a popular choice.
-
verify "Settings" --> "Syslog Server" --> "Mirror syslog to flash" is set to "yes" so we can hopefully capture what happens if the system locks up again

I'm still working to see if I can grab the most recent log. Which folder would that be in?
they should be under "logs" on your flash drive
41 minutes ago, mc_866 said:EDIT, changed network to bridge, think that's it.
yes, that should work. Do note that docker assigns IP addresses itself to the container, not from your network DHCP server. So you may want to setup a valid reserve pool on your DHCP/PFSense box and assign that to the network bridge in docker. That way you won't have address conflicts
-
Alright, well keep unraid on it's own static IP, use automatic ip assignment on dockers (all), and retest the stability to see what happens.
Do you have log mirroring enabled or at least a monitor attached?

Is your thought to keep the static IP for unifi-controller, or abandon that and see if the trouble continues?
If you don't feel like messing with vlans right now and just want to test things out, you can try to disable the static IPs for just the dockers. It's best for unraid itself to keep a static IP and shouldn't be related to your call traces.
is your pfsense setup on a vm?

This docker is running with a defined static IP
From my experience, this is the cause of the call trace.
On 8/2/2020 at 3:11 PM, mc_866 said:Should I not run this with a static IP?
My understanding is that if you don't have a static IP for your unifi-controller, you're going to have a hard time. I had issues setting it and my network up until I gave the controller a static IP. Same can be said for Plex.
On 8/2/2020 at 4:42 PM, mc_866 said:Nothing to be concerned with for those irq traces then?
Some say that those call traces are harmless, others have had issues when they occur, such as system instability or lockups. Best to not risk it and just get those fixed. My solution to this was to isolate all of my dockers to a separate vlan. I *believe* those call traces are caused by broadcast packets which macvlan doesn't handle well but unifi doesn't seem to route them between vlans. This allowed me to keep the static IPs.
As for the btrfs corruption, there may be a correlation between it and the call traces, or it could be something else unrelated.
Good luck!

Yep it has two Quad core E6530 cpus on an HP Z800 motherboard, was good fun getting it in a normal ATX case and converting the power. The bios sees both cpus.
This may seem stupid but did you install both CPUs yourself, and I mean verify that they are both E5630? I read somewhere that someone acquired a second hand server with different CPUs fitted - and it still seemed to boot/work. Not even sure it its possible (also ready that the board can work with differing CPUs) so thats why I ask. It may be a long shot

That would be a good starting point to see whats going on

last 4 cpus i.e. socket 2
is this dual socket/physical CPUs?
-
It really depends how you have the cores/threads assigned. It seems that unraid uses the first core (or thread) for it's tasks so that should always be left for unraid. After that, you can assign the rest to whatever you want. I'm sure you know this, but you should always assign threads with their corresponding cores to get the best performance.
I always allocate my cores to my VMs from the bottom up
-
*Maybe* try the 6.9 Beta and see if the new kernel fixes this? I would personally try this either with an earlier beta, before the multiple pools were added, or try it on a spare flash drive to test everything out (or create a backup of your current flash drive and then upgrade to beta)

Now to find a KVM with display ports that's not $1500..
http://www.avaccess.com/c803.html
I would do more research on that one but it's $160 on amazon in the US.
2 minutes ago, uktz said:Just so I understand a little bit better, basically, I'll have the IP KVM upstairs, dedicated CAT6 cable to it, and I can plug in all of my peripherals to it, and control my server from a different location in my home?
Yes, you plug the "transmitter" into the USB and HDMI on your computer. Then plug the "receiver" into your monitor and USB devices (or would it be plugging your USB/Monitor into the receiver 🤔) at the remote location and connect the two with CAT6 cable.
Now you "could" connect them to your existing network but as I said, you are sharing bandwidth with everything else in the house.

my server set to it's own static IP, as well as it's own subnet. Am I going to see any issues with this setup?
I've honestly never used one of these before but it is my next planned "upgrade" so that I can keep my server in a cooler part of the house and out of the way. AFAIK, they just sit on your network (plugged into a switch or directly connected to each other) and are "invisible" to other devices. I have heard of them slowing down and/or halting the network so if that is a concern then maybe run a dedicated CAT6 just for that.

You can get a KVM to IP converter. This will route the USB/HDMI to CAT5/6/etc IP traffic. Install one on your server and another at the remote location and connect them via the network.
But keep in mind that some don't play very nicely with regular IP traffic so do some homework
and the fix for the ryzen based servers are in that link (don't overclock/exceed RAM timings, BIOS settings)

sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan
This should force a complete bus scan and re-add the previously removed (disconnected) device.
Shouldn't cause any issues with already attached devices. I'm not around a *nix box at the moment otherwise I would try this, but I wonder if this would work:
sudo echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:XX:XX.X/rescan
I'm really curious if this will actually reduce your power consumption

You don't really say what you are currently transcoding from and to. I will assume that you are going from 1080 to 720 or SD. Either way, I would say that a video card would definitely help you out. I believe the P1000 is limited, or locked, to the number of streams, whereas the P2000 is unlimited - or limited only to what will fit into the memory. You shouldn't have any problem with 8-12 concurrent 1080 transcoding streams using the P2000. Video is much more demanding to transcode than audio so you should absolutely see a difference in performance. Keep in mind that you will need a plexpass to take advantage of hardware transcoding.

Try running memtest for a few passes (24 hours to be safe). if that passes then try booting unraid in safemode and see if it continues

Isn't there a way to have the container grab an IP from my pfSense server?
no, not that I know of. But you can manually assign one
3 minutes ago, BurntOC said:have been able to grab IPs for various VLANs on my VMs in the past
Because the VM is grabbing it, not unraid
As far as I know, it would be a limitation of the Docker system

Maybe need to set the minimum free space to a larger value? Something greater than the largest file anticipated to be transferred
-
Sounds like the IP is being handed out by the docker network system since you have automatic assignment selected.

as well continued to have the errors in the syslog
Do these error only come up when the VM is active?
2 hours ago, Aceriz said:any suggestions would be great
maybe a second cheap video card if you have room on the board
have you tried the 6.9 beta yet? I would only proceed down that route with caution as it isn't declared stable yet. Maybe 6.9beta1 so you aren't messing with pools yet.
Last resort you could use a phone or tablet if available to manage the VMs

your MCE seems to stem from this
MCA: Generic CACHE Level-2 Eviction Errorbut it was corrected so I guess no real issue and it seems to be the only occurrence of it in your system.
You could try accessing the IPMI logs and see if anything else was reported there.
I would monitor it further and make sure that it doesn't show up again. I would also make sure that nothing is overclocked (CPU). You could try to update the BIOS and see if that offers any improvement with updated microcode (you're two releases behind), but I'm not a poweredge user so I don't know if that would open up another can of worms.

Could you try booting the unraid flash drive on a different computer to rule out a flash drive issue?
Interface Ethernet Port 0 is down. Check cable!

network settings should show that
Diagnostics show this for interface eth2:
The rest show "link detected: no"
