[SOLVED] unRAID Freezes Up After a Couple of Days

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

My unRAID server seems to freeze up every few days on its own. The webGUI is not responsive, I cannot SSH into a command line, or even the command line directly on the server.

 

I cannot figure out a pattern or what could be causing this. It seems to happen every two to five days. I don't run VMs, but VM Manager is enabled. I do run the common media related Dockers.

 

I end up having to hold the power button until it shuts off. When back on, the parity check triggers.

 

I am attaching diagnostics generated right after the last crash.

 

Please help....  😟

 

Thank you!!

You should set up a syslog server so it can catch the crash and post the file after the next crash.

Thank you ChatNoir.... I have set up the Syslog Server to mirror to the Flash drive. Let's see what it catches.

Hi Everyone... SO I had my first crash since installing syslog. The server was locked up / unresponsive and I held the power until it went off. I unplugged the USB drive, connected to my WI machine and copied the /logs folder.

 

I am attaching the the file contained in this folder. Some of the last lines are my Kodi HTPC accessing my media share.

 

I have no idea what the below means

Oct 21 04:17:02 Tower  sSMTP[32541]: Creating SSL connection to host
Oct 21 04:17:02 Tower  sSMTP[32541]: SSL connection using TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
Oct 21 04:17:02 Tower  sSMTP[32541]: Authorization failed (535 5.7.8  https://support.google.com/mail/?p=BadCredentials 

 

What could I possibly be running that uses Google mail?

 

Can someone please help... what is causing these crashes?

 

Thank you,

I would guess the notification service ?

Oct 19 07:52:23 Tower kernel: macvlan_broadcast+0x10a/0x150 [macvlan]
Oct 19 07:52:23 Tower kernel: macvlan_process_broadcast+0xbc/0x12f [macvlan]

 

Macvlan call traces are usually the result of having dockers with a custom IP address and will end up crashing the server, upgrading to v6.10 or later and switching to ipvlan should fix it (Settings -> Docker Settings -> Docker custom network type -> ipvlan (advanced view must be enabled, top right)).

Hi Jorge,

 

My server has been up for 7+ days without a crash. Your solution worked. Thank you very much!!!

been having a similar issue only since i started using docker containers, which are way better then using VM's for me for startup/shutdown/usage speeds.
i use network types of host/bridge/br0.  br0 was needed with custom ip, cause Comcast is a trash company.

 

i have been using macvlan, so i just switched it to ipvlan.  will report back if this addresses my issue.

Hi,

 

Novice Unraid user here. Wasn't sure if I should repost or reply to this one, but I'm experiencing freezing after switching to a refurb prebuilt PC that was a small upgrade from the previous. The system runs fine, and has even completed a full parity check after an unclean shutdown, before the freezing occurs again. Just like the OP, the webGUI is not responsive, I cannot SSH into a command line, or even the command line directly on the server. I have a hunch it may be related to the GPU and will update this post if it occurs after a GPU swap(I have a couple I can use to test with).

 

I've attached the syslog and latest diagnostics data.

 

Please help! Thanks in advanced!

There are multiple GPU related crashes, try removing it, or blacklisting the driver.
