unRAID Freezes and Becomes Unresponsive now and then

Featured Replies

unRAID has been running great for a long time. About 2 weeks ago, it started completely freezing every 2-3 days, I have no idea why, and I cannot figure out what's causing it.

I can still connect to my IPMI interface and it let's me try to login with root or any other user, but then times out.

I have to powercycle it to get back on track.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I configurated it to a cache only folder:

I just didn't see any files getting created there yet.

If you read the syslog server link carefully you will see that you need to either set the Mirror to Flash option or put your servers address into the Remote Server field to get your using the syslog server.

 

the way you currently have it set means it is just listening for syslog messages from other servers.

The Remote Server field tells it where to send its syslogs.

It can send them to itself.

Thanks, I managed to send it to myself now ;)
I will follow up, after the next crash!

Just a question to that:

append initrd=/bzroot pcie_aspm=off
Would it prevent the hard disks on my pcie controller to spin down or save power in any way? Or is the ASPM stuff more related to core components like CPU/RAM?

It won't prevent spin down, it may cause a little more power usage, but should not be significant.

Alright thanks! Will implement that and further syslog any crashes...

PCIe errors are still being logged, could 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, including the docker containers.

Shutting down my whole media stack including plex would make my family rage ;)

But thanks for the effort, appreciate it, man!!!
I'll do the whole check every piece of hardware thing :)
