Hi all,

 

I've had a pretty rough go with unraid so far. I originally built a brand new box with a Ryzen 1600, 16gb ram, and 3x WD Red 4tb HD's, 1 parity. When I built that box and booted up unraid it was extremely unstable, I rarely got more than 5 minutes uptime. I found the FAQ about Ryzen and made all the bios tweaks including turning off cstate. This seemed to make the crashes occur randomly every couple of hours. After endless tweaking nothing could stop the crashes. I turned on all the logging I could find, including to a remote rsyslog as well as mirror'd to the flash but nothing ever showed up in the log of interest.

 

So I decided to buy a new i5, mobo and ram and sell the Ryzen since it has known issues. Annoyingly the crashes continue with the same thing, nothing in the logs at all, mostly happening at the 2-2.5 hour mark. The parity disk never has time to rebuild and keeps starting from 0.

 

Any ideas? I've attached the syslog even though its not very useful.

Nothing obvious, are you still using any hardware from the old build, like PSU, RAM, etc?

Just PSU and the HD's. I'd be surprised if it was the PSU as its a corsair that I took from another perfectly running server (not Unraid).

 

In saying this now, I've hit 8 hours uptime all of sudden. Where I had about 5 or 6 crashes so far, so maybe its sorted itself out? Will have to see how it goes overnight.

Hopefully but unlikely, if it continues to crash you can try 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 likely a hardware problem, if it doesn't start turning on the other services one by one.

Yeah it crashed after about 21h, I changed some bios settings + updated it and it crashed again after about 5h. I got this in the logs seems a bit more interesting then previous

I've booted into safemode now and will see what happens.

 

EDIT: Sigh, it crashed only after a couple hours whilst in safemode. It wouldn't have anything to do with the coral chip I have plugged in? I might try unplugging that next.
