Unraid Server Crashes Often - No Web UI, Hardware stays "powered on" but with no signs of life

Featured Replies

Hello Unraid Forum!

 

I have been having intermittent crashing issues with my server for the last year or so where I come home to find no signs of life from Unraid. This occurs maybe every week or every other week. Sometimes I can go several weeks without a crash. When I check on the server, I find that the lights are still on and fans are still spinning, but there is no read/write activity shown by the LED and no screen output when I connect a monitor for troubleshooting. I always end up having to do an unsafe reset and everything starts back up like normal.

 

I enabled syslog and was patiently waiting for some good logs to figure out what this issue is. It took several instances of this occurring before I could find anything relevant in the syslog. It seems when it had happened the last two times, the crash was so critical that syslog stopped reporting entirely leaving me with no clues to go on.

 

The good news is that I finally have some good logs to show! Below is the syslog from around the time of the crash. The sudden jump in time after the last event is the time I turned the server back on. Would anyone mind taking a look at these to see if they can make sense of this? I will attach my diagnostics to this post as well.

 

Thank you!

That error is not very helpful, at least not to me, did this start out of the blue without any change? One thing you can try is to boot the server in safe mode with all docker/VMs disabled, let it run as a basic NAS for a few days, if it still crashes it's likely a hardware problem, if it doesn't start turning on the other services one by one.

Yes, this server has been basically unchanged hardware-wise since built. The only change I made recently was to upgrade from 16GB of RAM to 32GB, but this same behavior occurred with both sets of RAM. I host 2 Minecraft servers, a calibre-web instance, homebridge, and more... so there are many things that could be causing this from a container / services perspective.

 

I'm trying to think of weak links here hardware-wise and I feel it's worth mentioning I had my cache pool (single Samsung 970 EVO 250GB) become unmountable last month which I posted about here. I ended up having to repair the filesystem which allowed me to copy over the entire contents of the cache drive to the array, format the SSD, and then copy the contents back. Everything has worked the same since that. The SMART data for this SSD doesn't seem bad to me but I could be wrong...

Unlikely that the SSD even if bad would lock up the server, especially without leaving anything logged.
