zryder Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Hello Everyone. I have a relatively odd problem with my unraid server, and I haven't the first idea where to look to fix it. After the server first boots, I can access it just fine through the web gui, but after a few hours of sitting idle, or a few hours of me not polling it from the browser, i will be unable to connect to it through either samba or the browser. I am running 5.0 beta 10 Any idea where I should look to find the issue? Link to comment
zryder Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Also, FWIW, the server has been running exactly as expected for about a year and a half without much issue. Lately certain folders would be write protected, and when i would try to add or move things to these folders i am told i do not have permissions. This is when i moved from 4.7 to 5.0b10, and now I am having the issue with the server becoming unresponsive. Link to comment
opentoe Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Go back tp 4.7. A beta here might not be as beta as like Microsoft beta or something similar. Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is it just the web gui you can't connect to, or the shares are also not available? Link to comment
zryder Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 the shares are also not avalable. Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 the shares are also not avalable. Doh! If I had read more carefully I would have seen you already mention Samba . Anywho, shot in the dark: Maybe a process is infinitely looping and using up all your ram? I know that other processes start getting automatically killed off (like samba, for instance) when the server starts running low on ram. While the server is still responsive, try telnetting in with puTTY and see what's going on with ram and processes: Check ram usage: free -m Check top processes: top Also, how much ram do you have?

zryder Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 The machine has 2G of ram, if I remember right. It wouldn't have anything less than 1G I will try and see if i can do that once I get home tonight. Thanks. Link to comment

DoeBoye Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Looks like you've still got lots of free ram available.... That could change as time passes. Can anyone with more Linux knowledge comment on the processes running? Server is still responding? Link to comment
zryder Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 it is responding at the moment, due to me writing things to it. it typically seems to go for 4-5 hours at least, but it wasnt responding when i came home to it this evening. Link to comment
DoeBoye Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Any updates on this? Did you manage to get it working? If still no love, I would run the tail command from a telnet window so you can see what is happening just before it fails... May give you/us some more useable info... Here's a link to a how to Link to comment
zryder Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 So back in the day, I reverted to 4.7, and everything worked just great. Last night I upgraded to 5.13, and it wanted to rebuild parity. I let it start doing this, and went to bed. Woke up without being able to access the server again. Same symptoms as before.

zryder Posted November 8, 2011 Author Share Posted November 8, 2011 Well, this gets even more interesting. After hitting the refresh button every hour or so, it finally finished a parity check this morning. Came back to work, and I proceeded to upload a file to the server just fine. It is currently uploading a file to the server, but I am unable to reach the unraid gui from the web browser. I am not able to post a syslog at the moment, due to not being able to access the gui. I know this isn't much info to go on, but I could really use some help. Thanks everyone. Link to comment
