Hello

 

Having big issues with my Unraid, it has started to drop of the network and freeze after some 5-10 minutes uptime.

Can also not access it directly with keyboard and monitor connected directly to the server. Sometime the screen is just black,

sometimes a frozen  Unraid window appears.

 

Enclosing a diagnostic here, not sure if it's helpful. I am not a tech guy so not sure what to do. 

 

I saw today that several of the discs that is part of the raid says historical discs even if they are part of the raid. Can this be

the reason for the issue? Should  I do anything with the settings on these?

 

All help is much appreciated. Thank you.

PS! When the server is up, I can access files without problems. But only for a few minutes before it freezes.

run a memtest on that machine.... just to be sure

Where can I find the memtest ?

It's a boot option on the Unraid boot menu.

It one of the options on the Unraid boot menu.

 

alternatively you can download the latest version from memtest86.com to make a bootable USB drive for that version.

The same menu I can choose safety mode?

Yes.

Thanks everyone, will do a test now

The test shows errors, but I don't know how to interprete them... photo enclosed.

Test 1, 2, 3 went ok, test 4 shows errors and the test freezes

Even 1 error is too many.

 

You could try running with less RAM sticks to see if that is any better in case the issue is the load on the memory controller.

Ok, so remove some of the RAM sticks and test again ?

That is what I would suggest.  It seems unlikely multiple RAM sticks would go bad simultaneously so it can help with diagnosing whether you have a RAM stick problem or something else.

 

Ok, removed some RAM sticks and now the test ran without any errors.

 

But what about the discs? Why are some of the active discs also listed as "historical devices" ? Do I need to take any action here?

 

Those are from the UD plugin, you can safely remove them.

Thanks so much for the help everyone. The RAM stick was the issue, so now it's working fine again. Again many thanks for the help, it really much appreciated.

 

Cheers, Kjetil
