March 9, 20251 yr Author well, i installed a new flash drive, and still getting a whole new set of errors: See attached ds9-syslog-20250309-0137.zip
March 9, 20251 yr Community Expert Getting lots of segfualts, run memtest again, or since memtest is only definitive if it finds errors, and if you have multiple sticks try using the server with just one, if the same try with a different one, that will basically rule out bad RAM.
March 9, 20251 yr Author THanks Jorge, I will try running memtest again, but here is latest log file. I've run memtest on the 2 (brand new) sticks that are in there now and they've passed. so not sure what else to do....

March 16, 20251 yr Author Just a quick update on this: @JorgeB I have come to discover that this is the key statement: Quote since memtest is only definitive if it finds errors I removed all the sticks (which previously passed) and tested one by one, 5 times each. 1 stick, after passing twice failed on the third test. Removed that stick and server has been up for last 5 days or so no without issue. So I guess that was the issue, but what concerns me (other than the failed stick was a brand new stick, at least I convinced amazon to give me half my $ back!) is, am I just sitting on a ticking time bomb? Will the other sticks just spontaneously start failing in the future? In any event, seems like crisis averted, thanks to everyone here and unraid team!

That's impossible to guess, any hardware can fail at any time, in the future you can minimize bad RAM related issues by going with a system that supports ECC.
