By default BR0 comes as standard (ie ticked) .... can i disable this interface if i only have bridge enabled docker containers?

 

Daft question ... maybe but i'm trying to troubleshoot a plague of cpu stalls which only happen (maybe obviously) when docker containers are active. rest of the time the system is idle.

...br0 is your standard network bridge, You can disable it in unraid network settings and use the plain eth0 NIC.

I don't think it would solve your problems. This is pure software, well known to run OK since basically ever

If you suspect networking issues, add a decent NIC, best intel based.

 

You should activate the syslog to be stored on the unraid stick and add the diagnostics file after a cpu stall occured.

Maybe create a seperate thread for your issue.

Thanks. So its really of no use to me at the moment, the standard eth0 will do the job just the same if i'm running only bridge dockers?

 

I have already tried a post for advice on cpu stalls but as expected its not an issue for the majority of users so little response.

 

I'm not complaining just looking at the system in different ways to try and understand just whats going onand yes, i've tries with syslog caps, again not much to report other than a log full of repeating cpu stall info. System is only running a handful of dockers. Maybe my next step will be to pin dockers  to cores only, ignoring HT threads. Will cut available threads  but might just work ..... system has enough cores, 32, to enable me to double up on core only.
