zacnaiman Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hello guys, I just built my new computer and I’m new to unraid. I’m trying to transfer all my old data onto the new unraid machine using a basic SMB transfer. The problem is the system locks up and crashes after 1 min or 2 of transferring filles. GUI is unresponsive, server is not pingable and requires a complete shutdown and restart to get working again. I have no idea how to fix this and hoping for any help I can get. I’m running a 12900k so that should rule out the issue I saw on here about c states as that was with AMD cpus. pool isn’t cached. Granted ik I’m trying to transfer allot of data, 20TB of movies and TV shows but I don’t understand why it completely crashes the system. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

zacnaiman Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 attached is the syslog. syslog i was doing a little troubleshooting and orignally when it crashed within a few mins i was using a multi threaded copy program. i tried to do it with traditional windows file system and while it was trasferring for a few hours it still crashed but last way longer. lmk what you think. thanks Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Was crash between these entries?

zacnaiman Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 ya crash was around 1:30 am i believe. did i set up syslog wrong or its just not recording this for some reason? Quote Link to comment
zacnaiman Posted January 10, 2022 Author Share Posted January 10, 2022 its interesting cuz i was able to transfer my movies folder with traditional windows file explorer but tv shows keeps crashing. im thinking maybe thats because there are so many more files with TV shows cuz of each episode and maybe either computer (probs the old one) cant handle it?

zacnaiman Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 i thought i already posted them. they dont show anything as you said. ive tried different copying programs aswell and the server ends up crashing at one stage or another. attached are diagnostics. mediaserver-diagnostics-20220113-2001.zip Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Have you done memtest? Quote Link to comment
zacnaiman Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 i havent yet. i can do that. at this point all try anything. the diagnostics didnt lead to anything did they? Quote Link to comment
zacnaiman Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 in order to run memtest i need to be in legacy and im booting in UEFI right now cuz my motherboard has a glitch where CSM wont stay and i have to flash the bios in order to fix it. i didnt bother cuz i assumed everything would be in in UEFI but if you think memtest is the next logical step ill do it. its just weird that it only crashes during SMB file transfers. it makes me believe that this is a software/driver glitch on either the old computer or the new unraid machine but i think it has something to do with the old one. i just dk what. am i able to access my share over FTP and maybe try it that way?

itimpi Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 You can download a UEFI compatible version of memtest from memtest86.com. Quote Link to comment
kentb Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 My unraid server is crashing in a very similar manner. Brand new build (newly purchased parity SSD is a few hundred meg smaller than the other disks of the same brand, so reset and rebuilt the lot). First shares I created are the file shares, so I begin copying ... When copying a number of large files from Windows --> unraid, the network is fully utilised, then the network crashes. The entire ethernet network stopped working, but the wifi continued to work (I have some level of isolation - which seems to be pertinant) I assumed it was a switch I have between the unraid server and the windows PC, so I connected diretly to the router (unraid server plugged into router as well). Nope - network down for all clients. Assuming it was my windows PC, i eventually reset my network completely in Windows - blowing away all vpn, drivers and config etc. No joy. Assuming it was my router (Asus beast with Asus-WRT merlin which I updated firmware a few days ago), I eventually factiry reset the router. At this stage I was looking at buying a new router, or perhaps a new network adapter. Plug in a laptop, network works, then goes down. then works, then goes down.Assume the Router has blown the ethernet chip and is overheated. Pulliung out all network cables, restart router ... lappy only device ... it works. And is stable. Plug in my PC ... still works. Wow. Run video on laptop and PC - still works. Plug in the printer ... still works, plug in unraid ... CRASH ... entire network down. Reboot unraid. Network is working. Build parity and wait for parity to complete building. Make some folders, start copying multiple large files win --> unraid (no switch, direct in the newly built asus router). Copy about 6GiB, CRASH !!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Unplug unraid server ... all is working. Plug un unraid, the array is down, and have to rebuild the parity disk all over again. Machine looks to have rebooted. SO ... when copying a large amount of files over SMB using win --> SMB, unraid crashes and breaks my entire network. Confirmed it is unraid, and a very clean, recently built machine. raider-diagnostics-20230129-0009.zip Quote Link to comment

Brian Yuen Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Following this thread because I'm having the same issue. Transferring 2tb worth of RAW photos from my Mac to Unraid via rsync. System goes unresponsive, cannot login and just had to do a hard reset. This is the second time this has happened. The first time it happened, I let it sit overnight to see if Mover could do anything. Tried to login in the morning and was able to. This time it didn't work. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Which user share were you transferring to? Quote Link to comment
Brian Yuen Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 7 minutes ago, trurl said: Which user share were you transferring to? It was the one I created for myself 'brian'. The settings for that are: Use cache pool: Yes Enable copy on write: Auto Allocation method: High water Min free space: 5gb Split level: Automatically split any directory as required Include disks: All Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 And you left out which pool. Select cache pool: cache You have no Minimum Free set for your pool named cache, so it won't overflow to the array if you fill it. You should set Minimum Free to larger than the largest file you expect to cache. cache isn't full now, don't know if you filled it. But in general, don't cache if you intend to transfer more than cache can hold. It is impossible to move from fast cache to slow array as fast as you can write to fast cache. And Mover is intended for idle time, trying to run it while transferring a lot of data just makes things worse. Quote Link to comment

Ah.. thanks for pointing that out. 1 hour ago, trurl said: But in general, don't cache if you intend to transfer more than cache can hold. So I'm assuming I can temporarily set 'Use cache pool' to 'No' in my Shares setting if I'm planning to move a ton of files? Thanks for the help! I'm going to continue transferring the rest of my files after Parity check completes from the hard reset and will report back. Quote Link to comment

This is the recommended approach as it tends to be the most efficient. However if the Minimum Free Space value for the cache is set appropriately then you can leave it set to Yes and then when the free space falls below that new files will automatically overflow to the array. Has the advantage you do not need to later set it back to Yes if this is how you intend to end up. Quote Link to comment
