Unraid not responsive (only ping)

Like mentioned before,... The VM or Unraid crashed if I use /mnt/user/domains

 

If I use /mnt/cache/domains everything works like a charm.

 

I guess the same problem appears if im using docker containers. 

 

Using, docker-mailserver, postgres, nextcloud is no problem... using Swag gives me a crash after an amount of time...

 

So im guessing there are problem in /mnt/user/ directory. How can I fix this?

 

Update: Testdisk and Photorec works. Thx for the advise.

It's my understanding that with VMs /mnt/user is basically the same as /mnt/disk_share, but if that helps leave it as /mnt/cache,

What about the docker containers /mnt/user/appdata/? Should I rsync the files in another place?

You can also use /mnt/cache/appdata, assuming they are on cache.

So if I understand that correctly... Should I ignore the path /mnt/user/ everywhere and instead using /mnt/cache or /mnt/diskX ?

[JorgeB]

For dockers I recommend using the disk path, better for performance, with VMs like mentioned it should not make a difference, but it won't hurt.

Ok I will try that and give feedback if everything works. Thank you

Hello everybody,

 

now that I have built myself a pikvm to remotely control the system completely, I could also find a solution to my problem.

 

I have tested some settings in these months and noted for me where there was a problem and where not. After I have now found my optimal settings and tested for weeks with success, I can now close the topic.

 

Power Supply Idle = Typical Current Idle
PSS Support = deactivated
Global C-States = deactivated
Core Performance Boost (CPB) = deactivated 

 

I used these settings before and after a BIOS upgrade without crashes. In the meantime I also changed the USB stick (fresh install) and formatted the hard disks. Therefore I strongly assume that it is not a setting on the operating system but only the BIOS.

 

P2.20 -> P2.30 (B550 Taichi)

 

The only thing that doesn't work and won't is hibernating a VM. With Global C-States enabled (if I remember correctly) I could wake up VMs from hibernation. Since I had stability issues with that option as well, I had to disable that and when the VM is in hibernation I can't wake it up and have to do "force shutdown". Therefore set in the operating system that hibernation is disabled.

 

I hope this info is helpful for one or the other. I am so relieved to have solved the problem now.
