January 26, 20242 yr Hello, my server has been rebooting by itself about every 2 hours, and I don't know why. This problem has been happening since my SanDisk Ultra Fit 32G died, and I replaced it with a random 2Gb USB 2.0 thumb drive. Could it be related? Also this is happening while I'm trying to unbalance a drive to remove it. Diags attached. unraid-diagnostics-20240126-1853.zip
January 26, 20242 yr Author Alright, thank you!! I'm going to enable the Mirror to Flash option and wait for a new crash.
January 26, 20242 yr Reboots that are not actively initiated are nearly always hardware related. Commonest culprits being thermal (e.g. CPU overheating) or PSU struggling.
January 26, 20242 yr Author It just happened again. New diagnostics with the syslog-previous included! unraid-diagnostics-20240126-2014.zip
January 27, 20242 yr Unfortunately there's nothing relevant logged, though that's kind of expected, since the server rebooting on its own, vs crashing or hanging, is almost always a hardware issue, or power.
January 29, 20242 yr Author It just happened again. The computer has been working perfectly since friday, I've precleared a new drive, added it to the array and parity-checked without any issue, yet the moment I use unbalanced to "gather" a couples of shares into that drive, unraid reboots. This leads me to believe that unbalanced is the issue here, I'm certain about it. I never had any problem with my server until I start using that plugin. It cannot be Power related because I just have a 4670K and 6 drives with a 650W PSU, no GPU. It's plenty. And it cannot be thermally related because I've run way more intensive loads on it and it took it like a champ. It's also being watercooled. There must be something wrong with unbalanced that's not being shown in the logs. I believe it's time to open an issue in their repository.
January 30, 20242 yr You can use Dynamix File Manager plugin to work with folders and files on the server instead of unbalanced. But I doubt unbalanced is crashing your server.

But I doubt unbalanced is crashing your server. Yup, I would have used DFM initially but since it's too manual I decided to give unbalanced a go. I also find very weird that unbalanced is crashing the server. 11 hours ago, trurl said: Have you done memtest? No, buy I ought to, really. I didn't think about running it so I'm going to do that right now! Edit: It passed the first tests but I'm going to let it run all night. Edit 2: More than 8 hours later, 11 test passed, I'm willing to call them good. Edited January 30, 20242 yr by Nirvash
