chris_netsmart Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 would someone please have a look at the logs and inform me why my system crashed. I think it might have been on of my HD's - which might be on it's way. as they are approx. 4 years old. many thanks tower-diagnostics-20240522-1624.zip Quote Link to comment
Solution JorgeB Posted May 22 Solution Share Posted May 22 The syslog in the diags starts over after every boot, you can enable the syslog server and post that if it happens again. Quote Link to comment

To get something actually being logged you either need to put your servers address into the Remote Server field or set the mirror to flash option. Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted May 23 Author Share Posted May 23 @itimpi thanks for the info. I have looked and I don't like the ideal of mirroring the data, as it might wear out my USB drive, but I am looking at exporting the logs to a syslog server. on this point is there any recommended syslog servers that you would suggest ?

itimpi Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 If you put your Unraid servers address into the Remote server field then it will write to itself in the location you have set. Ideally this should be a share that resides on a pool to avoid spinning up array drives. Quote Link to comment
chris_netsmart Posted June 1 Author Share Posted June 1 can someone please have this look at this syslog, as my system just chashed. at the time, I was in the middle of backing up my data to a external NAS. I have just purchase a HBA card to replace my SATA expansion card, if this is the issue. - I look forward to your reply. syslog-192.168.1.9 (1).log Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 Unfortunately there's nothing relevant logged, this can be a hardware issue, one thing you can try is to boot the server in safe mode with all docker containers/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.

chris_netsmart Posted June 2 Author Share Posted June 2 @JorgeB thanks for the advice, I have rebooted my system into safe mode, and I now have the words "running in safe mode " in red at the bottom. I am now going to leave it and see that happens. I don't user VM's in unraid as this is why I moved over to proxmox, and the only dockers I have running is glances which I use for monitoring.
