January 20, 20251 yr I have googled to see if I could find a similar problem, but nothing quite fits. I did not want to go messing things up so I am asking here. I updated my Unraid Server to v7 right after the first of the year. NOT SAYING UPDATE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT ! All was going fine until eight days ago when my server would start a Parity check for no apparent reason. The first time I let it run and it finished. Then it told me to fix common problems, which I did. 12 hours later it started a Parity check again. This time I stopped it. It has been starting Parity checks three to four times a day. Sometimes locking me out of Docker, which I eventually can get back to. Attached are the diagnostics, but to be honest I have no idea how to read them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If additional files are needed please let me know. Thank you so much. micah-diagnostics-20250120-0807.zip

January 21, 20251 yr Author You are correct. It is restarting. Did it about six times yesterday. After searching for a solution of which there are many, what might you suggest that I try to fix it. Thanks
January 21, 20251 yr This is probably not the issue but do you have your server connected to a UPS? If so can you verify that the UPS is working and able to keep the connected load powered if the utility power fails?
January 21, 20251 yr Author Thank you. I did unplug the UPS and plugged the server into a dedicated wall outlet. It did not have any affect. Appreciate the help.
February 4, 20251 yr I don't understand it anymore, everything was fine, until I upgraded to 7... now my server is also restarting once in every 2-3 days. After installing netdata, I noticed there were some btrfs errors regarding write, flush, read on 1 of my 2 cache drives in a btrfs pool. So I backed everything up on the cache, formatted all drives and removed the pool, just to add it back again. No btrfs errors anymore, atleast not for the past 2 days. Today I was pulling an ollama image (for deepseek 14b) and the server just completely lost connection. It completely froze so I had to force shutdown... If this happens again I'm going to run a 24h memtest. I ran memtest before, but only for 3h without issues (because I could not believe that suddenly my RAM has gone bad).

February 4, 20251 yr can you perhaps run this command and see if you have errors: dmesg -T | grep -iE "ata|SATA|error" or dmesg -T | grep -iE "error|warn|fault|panic|oom" I did find some errors this way, perhaps I can solve my problem, root for me guys!
February 11, 20251 yr Seems like I was able to fix it by updating the BIOS (2012 version to a 2014 version). Running for 3 days, 10 hours, 33 minutes, no crashes no matter what I try to do Edited February 12, 20251 yr by HollyGhost
