April 30, 20251 yr Hi all, I've recently had my unraid server crash a few times this past week. Recent changes: new NVME drive installed. Flash drive replaced. I do not think the nvme drive is a culprit, as this was stable for well over a week after the install. After the first couple of crashes, I received a notice in the web ui that there appeared to be an issue with my flash drive. Then the server stopped booting entirely. Yesterday (4/29/25), I replaced it with a brand new drive restored from a backup downloaded from unraid connect (life saver btw!). This was around 11AM CT. At some point between 11:45 PM and 12:30AM CST the server went offline (Received an email alert that a scheduled google app script failed). Briefly tried troubleshooting around 8AM this morning, and noticed that it seemed to be locked up. (No ping, no web ui, no ssh, no display from HDMI). I had to hard power off and power on. I collected diagnostics but these were done AFTER the server came back online. I'm not sure they will contain any relevant information. I did turn off C-States a couple of years back when I moved to a ryzen based system, these should still be disabled to the best of my knowledge. dxsunraid-diagnostics-20250430-0846.zip
April 30, 20251 yr Community Expert The syslog in the diagnostics is the RAM copy and only shows what happened since the reboot. It could be worth enabling the syslog server to get a log that survives a reboot so we can see what happened prior to the reboot. The mirror to flash option is the easiest to set up, but if you are worried about excessive wear on the flash drive you can put your server’s address into the Remote Server field.
April 30, 20251 yr Author Thanks, I do have a local syslog server setup. I found where the logs are being stored and attached the ones from yesterday and today (rolls over at midnight). Cursory glance does not seem to show any detail of what may have happened. But I'll let more familiar eyes take a look Thanks for the quick reply! Logs.zip
April 30, 20251 yr Community Expert Nothing relevant on the logs, make sure this has been taken care of: https://forums.unraid.net/topic/46802-faq-for-unraid-v6/page/2/#findComment-819173
May 5, 20251 yr Author Apologies for the delayed update. Its been stable for the past several days, with 0 changes. I want to give it a couple more before I close it. But thanks for the support from both of you!
