In the last few days, I've had some big old stability issues. I think I've had four forced shutdowns in the last couple days. Dockers acting weird. Losing GUI or the ability to ssh. Logging in via ssh sometimes taking a good 5 minutes from the time I hit enter on my password to actually getting a system prompt. 

 

No hardware changes. I've added and removed some dockers, but that's pretty much it. 

 

So far I've had the system continue to function (dockers) but was unable to get into GUI or ssh. But I could do SMB. I've been unable to do any sort of regular shutdowns - if I do, it says the system is going down, but just sits until I hold down the power button. 

 

Most recent crash, just before this diagnostics was taken, I was backing up a folder from the UNRAID box to my local PC (because, you know, instability) and the thing went completely unresponsive. Even pings failed at that point. Yes, it was still on, but if not for the lights you'd never know it. 

 

I've now got a keyboard and monitor connected to the thing after the latest reboot. 

 

Now I'm just looking for help determining what is going on here.

If the issue started out of the blue it could be hardware, but enable the syslog server and post that after a crash, in case it catches something.

OK, I've got it writing to flash.

Alright, problem the first. Noticed a docker acting funny. Went to restart it. Got a "server error". Refreshed Docker page, saw the container (Audiobookshelf) was stopped. Tried to start it and got a Server Error 403. 

 

Since a 403 is a forbidden in the world of http I went ahead and ran docker-safe permissions and...nope. 

 

So right now I've got one I just plain can't start. Then I stop a couple others and...can't start them either:

 

 

syslog

...okay, right. Hosed docker.img and macvlan. Fixing those and rebuilding my dockers...

 

And got a ways through re-adding them all when I got:

 

 

ETA super exciting update. I moved my docker.img to my main array and was able to install everything. 

 

Problems with my cache drive?

...no, not that. Running off the array and already crapped out again. 

 

First I lost dockers, then WebUI, then SMB, and finally, ssh. 

 

 

Attaching syslog and diagnostics.

unraid-diagnostics-20240717-2100.zip syslog

That syslog is just after a reboot, did you enable the persistent syslog?

I thought I had. There a setting I'm missing?

 

Looks OK, and that syslog is from that share? Or from the flash drive?

Ah there you go. It was from the flash drive. 

 

Here's the one from that share. 

 

syslog-192.168.1.44.log

Possibly not the only problem, but I see macvlan call traces (and others), start by updating to 6.12.11, that should fix those, then clear that log and start a new one, and post it if it crashes again.

OK, will do. 

 

Changed from macvlan to iplan and did the update.
