September 13, 20223 yr Looking for some help and guidance here regarding my server. It once ran perfectly fine for years now but recently it had a bad shutdown and things have been going downhill since. If I run just plex on the server it runs fine with no issue and for the most part I can run Sonarr and NZBGET but the moment I either let a couple of seasons get grabbed and downloaded by Nzbget OR run Radarr and let a movie or two get grabbed the server can just completely freeze and stall. The Unraid GUI is unresponsive and plex usually slowly dies and the client will say the server cant be reached. IF I wait long enough the plex container will work again and the CPU usage will drop back down to below 5% usage and things will work for sometime until either *arr container or nzbget starts doing its thing. Attached is the diagnostics file. I haven't had an issue on the server for a couple of hours now so the diagnostics may not have anything telling in its most recent records but there was an issue or two during the day today as I allowed Sonarr to run and eventually Radarr which caused some issues around 11AM-12PM. Much appreciated from anyone looking through this. tower-diagnostics-20220912-2114.zip
September 13, 20223 yr Community Expert 7 hours ago, Hypner said: a bad shutdown Do you just mean you powered off without the array stopped and so had a parity check for "unclean shutdown"? Or do you mean something more? Have you changed anything about any of those containers?
September 14, 20223 yr Author Apologies for the delay. Yes, a bad shutdown meaning I had to turn off the server as it was completely unresponsive and didn't allow me to stop the array. I have only recently changed the amount of cores dedicated to some containers as I didn't want some of them to completely use everything in the feat that this was causing the problem. Prior to these changes and me manually rebooting the server I had not changed the docker containers. I can run plex on its own without issue at all and for the most part sonarr but still run into it slowing things down to a crawl or completely freezing up the server at times.
