Hello, i just built my first unraid machine about 1-2 weeks ago and was expriences issues trasnfering data. the only way i was able to transfer all my data was if i did it in portions of under 1TB or else unraid would become irresponsive and crash with the only way of bringing it back being a force shutdown and restart. i thought the problem was exlcusive to trasnfering data as the hours and hours it took to build the array i didnt have a single crash or issue. now that i have installed some dockers and try and get my plex server up and running im experiences these crashes even worse now. once i start the dockers up within a couple mins it just dies like it did before and needs a reboot. this is so frustering and i cannot seem to solve it for the life of me. i would appreciate any help i can get. attached is the syslog and diagnostics. thanks in advance

Unfortunately I can't see nothing relevant logged before the crashes, this usually points to a hardware issue, start by running memtest and/or try swapping some components if available, like PSU, board RAM, etc.

i am going to try and run memtest now and see what happens. im hoping its something as simple as maybe a bad ram stick. could it possibly be a faulty USB drive? 

 

 

Possible yes, but I would guess unlikely.

ive been running mem test for 6 hours now. its on its 3/4 pass and has shown no errors. im ofc going to let it complete but assuming nothing shows up at the end it looks like memory isnt the issue. i would also think that between the system running for hours here and the hours it ran while orignally making the array that its not a hardware issues but you can attest to that better than i can. it leads me to believe that this is some sort of software/settings issue. im not sure what else to try or where to go from here. i dont have an AMD CPU so this shouldnt be a c state issue and between it crashign like this during data trasnfer and now when im trying to start dockers i dont believe this is a VLAN thing but im not sure as i just saw someone on the forums speak about that when they were having issues but tbh im not too familiar with it and i dont wanna start going down that rabbit hole if its just out of the relm of possibility. again any additional help would be greatly appreicated. sorry for a bit of rant just trying to provide as much info as posssible. also lmk if there is some way i can provide you with greater diagnostics or logs. they just seem to not show anything
