RGauld Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 this has been ongoing for some time now... literally just did it again... posting diagnostics and syslog... (there appears to be 2? posting both) rg-server-diagnostics-20211031-1156.zip syslog.log syslog.txt Quote Link to comment
RGauld Posted November 2, 2021 Author Share Posted November 2, 2021 and again... another random lockup... posting diagnostics and system log... rg-server-diagnostics-20211102-1219.zip syslog-192.168.1.110.log Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 There are a few port multiplier related errors but there's nothing crash relevant logged, this usually indicates a hardware problem. Quote Link to comment
RGauld Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 So what can I do at this point... I can't change the hardware, so is there any changes I can make to the settings to prevent the server from locking up? It is happening much more frequently now... Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 If it's a hardware problem not much you can do other than changing it, one thing you can try it to boot the server in safe mode with all docker/VMs disable, let it run as a basic NAS for a few days, if it still crashes it's more likely a hardware problem, if it doesn't start turning on the other services one by one.

RGauld Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 One thing I have tried is disabling the disk spin down... seems to have helped for the most part, until the other day when it locked up again... I'm including diagnostics and syslog again... rg-server-diagnostics-20211030-0630.zip rg-server-syslog-20211030-1243.zip Quote Link to comment
RGauld Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 do'h! posted the wrong logs... these are the correct ones.... rg-server-diagnostics-20211113-1301.zip syslog.log Quote Link to comment
RGauld Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 I replaced the marvell based 6 port controller card with the recommended Asmedia ASM1166 6 port controller... However, I'm still experiencing random lockups... and then frustration set in as this was another expense that hasn't solved the problem... Including diagnostics and syslog... rg-server-diagnostics-20211220-0613.zip syslog-192.168.1.110.log Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 11 minutes ago, RGauld said: I'm still experiencing random lockups... Very unlikely that controller would cause lockups, still good idea to replace it. Quote Link to comment
RGauld Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 Ok, I'm at a loss.... a previous post here mentioned that marvell based controllers are not recommended, hence replacing it with the Asmedia ASM1166 controller. "There are a few port multiplier related errors but there's nothing crash relevant logged, this usually indicates a hardware problem." any other suggestions then? is there anything in the logs?

JorgeB Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Just now, RGauld said: but there's nothing crash relevant logged By this I meant the controller was not recommended but not the reason for the lockups, but like mentioned still a good idea to replace it, hardware related lockups are most often caused by PSU, board, RAM, unfortunately no easy way to diagnose other than start swapping some parts around.

RGauld Posted December 20, 2021 Author Share Posted December 20, 2021 strange thing is, these random lockups only just started happening in the last month... it was rock solid before that.... Quote Link to comment

RGauld Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 Could someone please look at this and tell me why my P.O.S. server is randomly locking up? I'm sick and tired of having to reboot it 4 or 5 times in one day, and then it'll run fine for the next 3-4 days, then it'll randomly lock up again... I've tried everything! new SATA controllers, new memory, new cabling... I'm at my wits end! rg-server-diagnostics-20211228-0734.zip syslog.log Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Not seeing anything relevant logged, most hardware related crashes don't leave a trace on the logs. Quote Link to comment
RGauld Posted December 28, 2021 Author Share Posted December 28, 2021 great... that figures! I don't understand how a system that used to run perfectly now is basically a giant friggin paperweight! Quote Link to comment
Solution RGauld Posted February 20, 2022 Author Solution Share Posted February 20, 2022 Finally figured out the issue! Turns out the power supply was the problem... I guess it's time was up... Replaced it, and so far, so good! no more random lockups.... Quote Link to comment
Darc Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Out of curiosity, does anyone else have experience with this? I'm in exactly the same boat here. My logs show nothing and I have scoured the forums looking for solutions. The array stops after a period of time when the drives are in use. that period of time is essentially random. It could be an hour, It could be a minute. I have swapped my PSU, flash drive, Mobo, Processor, ram, cables and even the one drive with the most errors but it still kills the array mid rebuild. The only thing I haven't swapped out is the HBA and tbh i'm out of cash thanks to effctively buying 2 servers worth of equipment trying to fix this thing. It was solid for about a year before this happened. Before I take out a loan to buy some drives and build a whole new NAS running a different OS I want to try fix this thing. Any help at all would be welcome. Quote Link to comment
