So I have been trying to copy about 3tb to my second unraid server that is going to be moved off site. It has crashed a few time. I am using synctoy in windows to do the copying from one unraid machine to another. The machine I am copying from is fine but the machine I am copying to loses network connection after a few hours. I did initially use rsync and when the computer crashed I went from that to Synctoy to elimiate rsync possibly causing the crash.

 

I have attached my syslog as there are errors when this happened. and would appreciate any help. I have had a hard drive fail in this machine too and am not sure if it is related. That hard drive is obviously not in the machine at the moment.

 

Thanks.

Run Memtest at least overnight.

looks to be crashing on a traversal of the reiser file-system. 

I would suggest checking the file-systems as described here:

Thanks I will try both the suggestions overnight tomorrow. I was told to do the file system check when the last drive failed and it wouldn't finish. Joe, I am assuming that problems with memory could cause the the file system to corrupt. When I had the problem with the first drive and reformatted the unraid server 3 times the same drive kept causing problems. So is that likely to be a memory or hard drive problem?

 

Thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply.

Joe, I am assuming that problems with memory could cause the the file system to corrupt.

yes, if memory is bad, it can cause any kind of symptom you could imagine.

Ok. Thanks for clarifying. I will run a memory test tonight.

Well I ran the memory test over night and found no errors. I also checked both data disks and found no errors there either. Is there anything else that could cause this? Could it possibly be the network card?

What NIC what MB?
