May 22, 20242 yr Community Expert Solution The syslog in the diags starts over after every boot, you can enable the syslog server and post that if it happens again.
May 22, 20242 yr Author @JorgeB many thanks for having a look, I am guesting that the Diags had no usefully information, I have done as advise and posted what I have done. all I can do now is wait and see for when it next crash

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.
May 23, 20242 yr Author @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 ?
May 23, 20242 yr Community Expert 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.
June 1, 20242 yr Author 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
June 2, 20242 yr Community Expert 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.
June 2, 20242 yr Author @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.
