Server freezing randomly with 6.9.1 and 6.9.0


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm having problem with the 6.9 version of Unraid. The server freezes at random times, and can only be fixed by doing a hard reset on the server itself. It does not respond to ping when it has freezed. It happened a few days after I upgraded, then it ran for around 2 weeks before freezing again. Yesterday it froze again, restarted it and now it freezed again around 15 minutes ago. I did not have these problem with 6.8 and has not changed anything in the setup.

I tried to check the log files but it seems like it was reset when server was rebooted again. Is there any way seeing what happened from the diagnostic file?

 

Anyone has any idea of what's causing this?

 

Thanks!

@Linus, I was running into stability issues as well on my server with 6.9.1-stable, which the frequency of freezing/locking-up increased over the past few days (where I would get a few hours or so of stability after bringing the system back online).

 

For me, I may have been experiencing a bug (that others reported) regarding using Docker containers on br0 (with a static IP). However, I was never able to capture the telltale "kernel panic" error in the logs (due to my syslog server config previously not working). I attempted downgrading back to 6.8 (since using VLANs was not an option for me). Unfortunately, it did not recognize my cache drive being formatted as XFS. Therefore, I used the Unraid USB Creator tool, and downloaded 6.9.0-rc2 (which worked for me in the past). Afterward, I restored my config backup, booted up my server, and have been stable so far (I'll have to see if it remains online overnight)...

Hi,

 

My server crashed today again at 20:26, so it was just up for around 28 hours.

 

Syslog gives no clue at all from what I understand.

Gave up and downgraded to 6.8.3, hopefully it'll remain stable.

 

@Linus, let me know if you had any luck after downgrading. I think one of the reasons I was unsuccessful in my downgrade attempt, is that my cache drive required a XFS repair (as I mentioned in my previous post).

 

I did wind up going back to 6.9.1 since I was not seeing any differences in stability on 6.9.0-rc2. Unfortunately, I ran into another lock-up this morning after that & the XFS repair. Like your other post, I was unable to find anything useful in the syslog before/after I brought the system back online. Therefore, I wound up starting a separate topic so I could post logs, etc.

I'll keep you updated. It has been stable since the downgrade yesterday at least.

Server has been stable now since Tuesday, so it seems like downgrading "solved it", at least for me.

Tried upgrading to 6.9.2 to see if that solved it, but server crashed again without any clue in the syslog.
