unraid restarted on its own, how to preserve pre restart log,+other weird stuff

December 16, 201114 yr

hello

my unraid (v4.7) restarted on its own while i was watching a movie.

i did not do anything special except watching movie. i didn't even download stuff at that time...

anyway i understand that i can't view a log prior to restart coz it's saved in ram, but as i understand there is a way to preserve the log...

if you know how - please let me know (i did not find any specific instructions, except the hint in unraid wiki that "it can be done")

The weird stuff: now I'm running automatic parity check, and the log is strange....(at least i think its strange)

check this out:

Dec 16 23:59:09 Tower kernel: ata3: SError: { RecovComm PHYRdyChg 10B8B Dispar BadCRC }

Dec 16 23:59:09 Tower kernel: ata3.00: failed command: READ DMA EXT

Dec 16 23:59:09 Tower kernel: ata3.00: cmd 25/00:80:f0:44:15/00:02:00:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 327680 in

Dec 16 23:59:09 Tower kernel: res 7f/00:80:f0:44:15/00:02:00:00:00/e0 Emask 0x12 (ATA bus error)

Dec 16 23:59:09 Tower kernel: ata3.00: status: { DRDY DF DRQ ERR }

Dec 16 23:59:09 Tower kernel: ata3: hard resetting link

this thing goes over and over for every disk...(full log attached)

could that be because a windows machine tried to mount the shares? (i disabled DSF in samba you see - i use MAC and Linux machines...), its just that i installed windows 8 preview on Parallel desktop VM (under MAC OS Lion) exactly at the time when tower crashed...

or is there something seriously wrong with my tower? (i actually can access the shares fine... )

Thanks in advance
