Unraid 6.10 has glibc 2.33 installed which is a version behind.  As a quick work around, install the latest version of the UD Preclear plugin that installs the glibc package updated to 2..35.

 

I did install that latest UD preclear. That is the reason why I have problems now. Where can I download a previous package? I already deleted the latest UD Preclear - but a Reboot is not possible yet (running disk replacement).

 

The only plugins and tools installed are:

 

Plugins

======

Community Applications

Dev Tools

Dynamix File Manager

Nerd Tools

UD

UD Plus

User Scripts

 

Dev Tools

=========

guile (don't know why, seems a different package did include that in the past)

 

Nerd Tools

=========

ncurses (included from something else)

python

python pip

python setuptools

rar

screen

unrar

 

That's not that much compared to others here. This worked for some months until this morning after I did upgrade UD Preclear.

 

So how can I get and install the previous UD preclear to fix that for me? Thanks in advance.

A previous version won't fix your problem.  Install UD Preclear again, then go to a comand line and show the result of this command:

 /lib64/libc.so.6

It should show version 2.35.  If not then post your diagnostics.

So I installed UD Preclear again:

After that I tried to start one of my User Scripts:

Jul 11 15:36:44 Tower atd[7296]: Module is unknown

 

To make it clear: That worked in the previous night. This morning I did install the update to UD Preclear. That was the only thing that I have done to my server. After the update of UD Preclear I can't start the User Scripts any longer.

 

I'm not into Linux that much, but it seems that something broke with the update of UD Preclear this morning.

 

I did uninstall UD Preclear again, removed it's package from the stick and will restart the server tomorrow when the Disk Replacement finishes.

You confirmed glib 2.35 is installed.  That should fix the problem.  You may need a reboot.

This will revert you back to glibc 2.33 and you will fail again.

I doubt that. It worked that way until the update of UD Preclear this morning. I will not install UD Preclear and see what happens after the reboot. If it works after the reboot, it has definetely something to do with the latest change within UD Preclear. I'm pretty sure because I didn't touch the system after 6.10.3 came around.

 

I'm not into Linux, but I can count 1+1 and see the coincidence ;-)

I think I see the problem and will work on a solution.

The problem is that a plugin you are using is depending on the glibc library installed in Unraid when it starts.  a Daemon?  When UD Preclear updates the glibc package, the daemon is losing access to the library it needs and then fails.  Do you have any idea what is using dlopen?

 

You have two options at this point:

  • Don't install the UD Preclear plugin.
  • Upgrde to Unraid 6.11-rc1 that will be available soon.

User Scripts? None of my User Scripts run any longer. I think we are talking in loops. Must be my bad english.

 

I deleted UD Preclear already and will reboot tomorrow. I bet the system will run perfect - as before.

 

What puzzles me is that you don't recognize the coincidence. 6 seconds before the error popped up for the first time in 14 days UD Preclear has been updated.

Yes it will.  I've explained how this happens.

I see it and have explained how this is happening.  It took a while to totally understand the problem because simply uopdating a package should not cause the problems you are seeing.

 

As I've already said, your options are:

  • Do not install UD Preclear.
  • Update to Unraid 6.11-rc1.

Not sure  it fixed it?  I just updated both UD and UD Preclear plugins, after seeing the Samba errors in my logs after the earlier UD  Preclear update.  NOw the log reports this.  Is this expected?

Reboot.

Yes, a reboot resolved it.

 

Ended up restarting several times yesterday.  The Power Co were having issues, and were without power for a few hours several times.  I love having a UPS.  I had even started a pre-clear on a new drive, and it handled the shut downs just fine, and resumed where it left off with no issues.

Running into a weird one here, not sure if this is normal behaviour or not.

 

I have two new drives that I'm preclearing. Starts fine. Skip pre-read, straight to zeroing.

For the first while (not sure how long, left running while I was out/asleep) everything is fine. Speed as expected.

After that, I'm seeing high I/O from the dashboard. (CPU usage graph is high, but htop is normal, so I assumg that's what it is). Zeroing still going at a speed I'd expect for the drives.

Server responsiveness is slowed, Plex complains about a busy DB, DayZ and Minecraft servers can't be connected to, etc.

I stop the preclear on both drives and I/O drops, everything is working again.

 

The drives are externals, connected over USB. They shouldn't interfere with any other drives in the server, surely.

 

 

Any idea on what might be going on here?

Could anyone please tell me if an incorrect displayed disk size can cause problems?

 

I'd like to preclear a 1.5TB HDD I have, but the Preclear GUI reports it as a 2TB. On the Unraid Main page it is listed as 1.50TB under unassigned devices.

 

Plugin is fully up to date on unRAID 6.10.3.

Are you running both at the same time? If so I've had issues when running multiple preclears and just ran one at a time.

Post diagnostics zip file and a screen shot of the preclear page.

I was, yeah.

 

They both eventually finished, I just had to stop them every few hours to let things calm down for 10-15 minutes. 

 

No idea what the root cause was. I didn't try running only one, but I did try stopping the pre-clear on one drive, and waiting a couple of minutes. the I/O was still abnormally high. That's the only (not particularly useful) datapoint I have.
