Can't login to frontend (happens repeatedly after 2 weeks or so), Flash drive out of space?

Featured Replies

Unraid 6.1.49, running stable for 2 weeks or so, and then I can no longer login to the frontend. User/pass are accepted but screen stays on login screen.

 

Running diagnostics over SSH gives the following:

Starting diagnostics collection... tail: write error: No space left on device
echo: write error: No space left on device

tr: write error: No space left on device
done.

I'm assuming it's the flash drive that's out of space? If so, that hasn't happened in the last 4 years and it has plenty of space left (from memory). Any hints?

How much RAM do you have?   I think you need at least 4GB to run recent releases of Unraid reliably.

I have 32GB of ram.

How can I check the disk usage?

This is the output I can generate:

The rootfs is 100% used which suggests you have something writing to RAM instead of persistent storage. 
 

running

du -shc /*

Might give a clue

Did you set a static IP address. I just asked because your router could have changed the IP address and that would stop access. If so you could go to your routers web access address and look for your server. Also map it as static while you were there.

rootfs is where the OS files are (in RAM as mentioned). If you fill that up, the OS can't work with its own files, so all sorts of things can quit working.

 

You need to figure out what is writing to RAM.

 

Often a misconfigured host path for a container will be the cause.

That was it (and not for the first time in my Unraid History...). I installed Homepage from the apps section, which had a default path to /mnt/user/appdata/homepage, which I think caused this?

It shouldn't, unless you changed defaults and don't have a share named appdata.

Hmm, I *do* have a share named appdata...

What would be a definitive path to look out for in my container mappings, that certainly will write to RAM?

  • Community Expert

Anything that isn't an actual mount...

Could be e.g. you decided to name your cache pool something else than the default "cache", but left a template default mapping to /mnt/cache/...

That wasn't it...but I did find a container that wrote to /var/lib/folder...Moved that to /mnt/cache/appdata/folder solved this. Thanks!
