failed upgrade

[Steve1985]

Yes it's running on a Intel NUC 8th gen.

I have no idea what that means

1 SSD is only used for downloads. The other for everything else. All the actual data (for plex etc) is on a synology NAS connected through NFS

 

Edit: Because i changed the flash i can't revert to a older version. And it blacklisted the other flash drive. So looks like i am stuck on 6.11.5 with these random reboots.

I have an old 4th gen which controls my telescopes. Would like to upgrade but it's working fine so I find other things to spend money on.

 

Just in case you are thinking about adding drives. USB not recommended for array or pools.

You can install any version available for download on any flash drive. Just make sure you have a current backup of flash. Everything about your configuration is in the config folder of flash (and flash backup). Just copy that config folder to a new install of whichever version you want.

Who said anything about adding drives? I use a Synology NAS over NFS. It worked for a year. Not great there were issues sometimes but always able to fix it.

 

I upgraded today to 6.11.5 and suddenly the server reboots every 10-15 minutes.  So my question is WHY?! I am stuck on this version now. There is nothing obvious in the logs.

Even easier, just download whichever version you want and copy all bz* files from the download

No reason to be stuck on that version. If you have questions about my other replies about that, ask away.

[Steve1985]

So there is nothing more to troubleshoot and your recommendation is to roll back?

rolling back would be one troubleshooting method

Setup syslog server

 

[Steve1985]

Yes i did setup the syslog server. It's empty. Not sure where it's supposed to save to logs to...

 

root@Annabelle:/mnt/user# cd Syslog/
root@Annabelle:/mnt/user/Syslog# ls
root@Annabelle:/mnt/user/Syslog#

 

I was hoping to solve this on 6.11 and not be stuck on 6.10 forever without knowing why

Dec 27 21:18:19 Annabelle root: error: /plugins/unassigned.devices/UnassignedDevices.php: wrong csrf_token

 

Only very obvious error. I closed all open tabs i could find to the GUI and any GUI of docker applications.

Did they quit after you closed browsers?

[Steve1985]

Yes these errors stopped. but the random reboots persisted about every 15 minutes.

 

I rolled back to 6.10.

Probably you need to tell it which server to log to. You have to tell it which server to log to (give it the IP of your Unraid server if that is what you want) and where on that server to save it.

 

(from that link)

• Logging to file local to Unraid server Using a bit of trickery we can use the Unraid server with the problem as the Local syslog server. This is appropriate if you want to continue to keep a permanent copy of the syslog but the file will not be as easy to access if the Unraid system is crashing. It also has the advantage of avoiding lots of writes to the flash drive. To achieve this you now add the IP address of this server as the Remote syslog server (Remember the mention of trickery). So basically, you send data out-of-the-server and it comes-right-back-in.

[Steve1985]

Yes i think i got that working. After i changed the syslog settings those csrf messages started popping up.

 

It's too bad. My conclusion for now is something in the NUC 8th gen is not playing nice with UnRaid 6.11. This is the second time i try this upgrade and the second time i rolled back.

On 6.10 it's been up for 20 minutes now so still working fine with same hardware etc.

 

Would it make a difference if i upgrade manually instead of using the GUI?

Should give identical results.

Personally, with a fifteen minute interval, I would set the syslog server to mirror the syslog to the Flash/boot) drive.  The reason for this is that you can very quickly get to the syslog.  Just pull the boot drive from the server and plug it into any type of PC.  (You might want to shut the server down but it is probably going to start a parity check on the restart anyway.)

Maybe something for tomorrow. it's past midnight over here. Done some more reading seeing if i could find more recent cases of random reboots on 6.11. But most of them are on older versions and down to hardware.
To me it doesn't make sense the exact same hardware would work on 6.10 and not on 6.11.
