August 19, 20232 yr So what seems to be becoming an issue more and more is my Unraid server freezes up and I'm unable to connect to it anymore till I reboot the server and everything works fine again. I created a syslog server and was able to generate a log file but I have no idea what it means.. Can someone more experienced look through it and see if it says why it keeps crashing and how to fix it? I've attached the notepad doc. I trimmed the log file to only include only today before the crash and after the crash to make it easier. If you need more let me know. Looks like it crashed at 15:46 and I rebooted it at 16:29 Syslog 8-18-23 Unraid.txt
August 19, 20232 yr Not sure if this is your cause, but for me I recently has same issue. Crashing every few days. Then progressively got worse till i was crashing within hours of reboot. Anyway my root cause was a corrupted cache drive. For me I followed these instructions to reformat my cache drive. https://docs.unraid.net/unraid-os/manual/storage-management#reformatting-a-cache-drive In your syslog I do see entries pointing to similar issue. Good luck.

Good luck. I'll give this a shot and hope it works. Did you have the same issue after you formatted it?
August 19, 20232 yr Here is the thread i had for my issue. Seems very similar. Have you booted to memtest? And checked your memory? You may also want to turn off all dockers and see if that changes anything. Good Luck
August 19, 20232 yr Community Expert You're running out of memory, try limiting more the RAM for VMs and/or docker containers, the problem is usually not just about not enough RAM but more about fragmented RAM, alternatively a small swap file on disk might help, you can use the swapfile plugin: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/109342-plugin-swapfile-for-691/
