January 29, 20242 yr Hello, My unraid is acting really weird for a month now (maybe more). I am having many freezes during the week and I cannot still find the reason of those. In the meantime I have: changed my USB drive to a new one (from Sandisk to Verbatim) changed my Parity disk from an old 8TB Red WD to a new 16TB Exos Seagate (SAS) changed one my oldest 8TB drive (6y old) to a new 14TB Gold WD After all these and during these changes as well, I have freezes too. Like when I changed my parity drive in the parity building process I had to force reboot the machine to access it again. Same thing for the 14TB that at 55-60% of the rebuild my unraid froze again. Freeze = When I cannot login via webGUI or ssh, but I can still ping it and it's responding to that all the time. I have tried and waited to hit the power button once and wait for it to go to a clean shutdown but a) that might take from 2-5 hours and b) it stucks with timeouts in the process. So mostly my shutdowns was forced.. Also I have some weird errors on the boot, which ends with, those can't automatically be fixed. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1192048906087968798/1200928304916607096/IMG_0963.MOV?ex=65c7f6a4&is=65b581a4&hm=acf94c3b6eb32c00a2d80276424cabdf2f6520289e8648b9bff04992b4c29d3e& Also attaching my latest log (which I currently save on my flash USB drive) Thank you so much for reading this and for helping! syslog-previous
January 29, 20242 yr Community Expert Nothing obvious that I can see, one thing you can try is to boot the server in safe mode with all docker/VMs disabled, let it run as a basic NAS for a few days, if it still crashes it's likely a hardware problem, if it doesn't start turning on the other services one by one.
January 30, 20242 yr Author I have already tried the safe mode, but it crashed on that one too. Hardware problem like? One of the disks or worse? Thanks in advance!
January 30, 20242 yr Community Expert If it's hardware it can be be anything, RAM, board, CPU, PSU, etc, start by running memtest.
February 2, 20242 yr Author I have tried memtest for 2 hours and all Passed. Should I do it for a day or something? Thank in advance!
February 2, 20242 yr Community Expert Assuming you have at least two RAM sticks, try with just one, if the same try a different one, that will basically rule out a RAM issue, since memtest is only definitive if it finds errors.
February 8, 20242 yr Author I got a new crash last night. I pushed myself to click the power button onces.. it maybe took 4 hours to completely shutdown the machine but I've done it safely (i hope). Can I upload here the last log? Maybe there's something new on it? Thanks in advance!

February 8, 20242 yr Community Expert Unraid is running out of memory, if it keeps happening try limiting more the RAM for VMs and/or docker containers, the problem is usually not just about not enough RAM but more about fragmented RAM, alternatively a small swap file on disk might help, you can use the swapfile plugin: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/109342-plugin-swapfile-for-691/
February 8, 20242 yr Author I've used swapfile plugin. I'll leave it run until I change one of the 8tb drives I have with a new 10tb, maybe later tonight. I need to do 2 disk changes (2x8TB with 2x10TB). After that I dont have any reason to poweroff/restart it again. Thank you!
