January 4, 20242 yr Hello, had a problem start within the last month where my server keeps hanging, and the only way to recover is to hard power it off, and then back on again. Prior to this, it had no major re-occurring issues for ~2 years. Server OS is: 6.12.6 (was running a previous 6.11 version I think, when the issue started but upgraded OS to the latest version). Updated BIOS firmware, etc. I've now disabled dockers that I've installed within the last few months, and running only dockers that have been running for the last year or more without issue. And, powered off all VMs. Symptom is that typically I can't access my 'usual' apps like jellyfin. Then I'll go to the server, switch on the connected monitor, and nothing will show up on screen. So, press the power button for ~5 secs to turn the server off. Then power on again and we're good to go. Then usually have to repeat this every few days. I've now enabled remote syslog (to the unraid server), and this is the last entry (issue happened on Dec 22 it seems, and I powered it off/on on Jan 3 - I was away during this time) : Dec 22 00:00:01 unraid Plugin Auto Update: Checking for available plugin updates Dec 22 00:00:01 unraid Docker Auto Update: Community Applications Docker Autoupdate running Dec 22 00:00:01 unraid Docker Auto Update: Checking for available updates Dec 22 00:00:05 unraid Plugin Auto Update: fix.common.problems.plg version 2023.12.21 does not meet age requirements to update - 1 days old Dec 22 00:00:05 unraid Plugin Auto Update: Checking for language updates Dec 22 00:00:05 unraid Plugin Auto Update: Community Applications Plugin Auto Update finished Dec 22 00:00:36 unraid Docker Auto Update: Installing Updates for postgresql15 Dec 22 00:00:42 unraid Docker Auto Update: Community Applications Docker Autoupdate finished Jan 3 23:02:42 unraid root: Delaying execution of fix common problems scan for 10 minutes I have just run the Fix Common Problems scan and it did come up with a warning about using macvlan, so I've now changed that to ipvlan. Will see if this changes anything. Apart from this, is there anything else to check / test ? Thanks

January 4, 20242 yr Community Expert You should post the complete log, the problem is not always the last lines.

Yes, I switched to ipvlan yesterday - Fix Common Problems picked this up as a problem, so i changed the setting. I’ll see if it runs okay for the next week or so, and then start switching on the other dockers I’ve now stopped currently. THanks for looking :)

January 5, 20242 yr Had the same issue and disabled the C-states in the BIOS that worked for me. Edited January 5, 20242 yr by Jonxs___03
January 12, 20242 yr Author Freeze happened again after a day or so. Will try the bios change, and looking again at dockers (not really sure if this is related or not though). Edited January 14, 20242 yr by kilo
