December 9, 20232 yr Last week after a power outage I have been experiencing periodic loss of gui, shares, plex etc then everything is restored within a few minutes. Unraid uptime continues to run and I can ping the system. I have moved my drives to a new mobo, cpu, ram, network card thinking it is a hardware issue. Issue persists.
December 10, 20232 yr Community Expert Those diags only cover a few minutes uptime, did the issue occur during that period?
December 10, 20232 yr Author Yes, I pulled the diagnostics immediately after I was able to gain access to the dashboard
December 10, 20232 yr Author I just attempted to access the dashboard and met with "This site can't be reached. Err Connection Refused" but ran a continuous ping with no issues. It was not until I attempted to access the Windows share twice did the shares load and I was able to access the dashboard login page. I've also rebooted my entire network in case it was network related. My uptime is 26 hours. Fresh diag attached. tower-diagnostics-20231210-1223.zip
December 11, 20232 yr Community Expert Still nothing logged, suggesting it may not be an Unraid/server problem.
December 12, 20232 yr Author Solution I believe I discovered the main issue, I changed the IP of the server and discovered another device registered with the old IP. Since changing the IP I have experienced zero drops within Plex, network shares, etc. However now one of my drives started throwing reallocated sector errors. I am going to swap sata cables but I have new drives on the way. Thanks for looking into the issue.

December 14, 20232 yr Author 90% of my storage is for plex, did not see a reason to have one. BUT I replaced the drive and installed a parity drive now and everything is working well.

The key thing is that one has made a decent assessment of the risk and how you would handle an array drive failing.
