March 26, 20251 yr 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. unraid-diagnostics-20250326-0821.zip unraid-syslog-20250326-0720.zip
March 26, 20251 yr Author 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.

March 26, 20251 yr Author Thanks, I managed to send it to myself now I will follow up, after the next crash!
March 29, 20251 yr Author This night I got another freeze...here are the logs: Couldn't find anything which helps me to identify the problem syslog-192.168.100.10.log unraid-diagnostics-20250329-1059.zip Edited March 29, 20251 yr by peppoonline
March 29, 20251 yr Community Expert Possibly unrelated, but there are PCIe errors, try this first: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/118286-nvme-drives-throwing-errors-filling-logs-instantly-how-to-resolve/?do=findComment&comment=1165009
March 30, 20251 yr Author 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?

April 9, 20251 yr Author Some more crashes sadly Perhaps somebody can spot the problem - thanks guys syslog-192.168.100.10.log unraid-diagnostics-20250409-0757.zip
April 9, 20251 yr Community Expert 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.
