Hello All! Sorry for the vague title, I'm a little stumped where to go to get more info on this one.

I have Unraid 7.1.4 running on a 45HomeLab HL15. Over the past month or so I've had a few instances where i wake up in the morning and Unraid isn't replying to anything on network. No docker containers, Web UI, SSH, nothing.

I try getting in via the IPMI interface and the first time or so it happened I tried logging in but it never accepted my password. When it happened this morning, I'd enter the username via the IPMI console, and it would throw the version information and toss me back to the UserID login prompt, never asking for a password. There were messages on screen that mentioned something about Dynamix. But I'm an idiot and deleted my old screenshot and didn't take a new one this morning.

After this happened the previous time I setup a Raspberry Pi as a syslog server and pointed Unraid to it. The last message I see there is "2025-08-04T17:43:17-06:00 Ascension monitor_nchan: Stop running nchan processes". Ascension is my Unraid server, there are no messages for 2 hours before that, and nothing after until the server came back online.

I don't see any hardware faults in the IPMI interface. I could set Unraid to mirror syslog to flash to see if it'll record something more useful but I'm weary of doing that because it can go a week or more without happening and it could cause extra wear on the flash drive which I had to replace not too long ago due to a failing flash drive.

I've had to kill power either via the button or via IPMI, as trying to do a safe shutdown via IPMI doesn't work. Once it comes back up, it goes through the parity check, finds 0 errors, and everything seems to be ok until it happens again.

Only other odd thing I've experienced lately was that my Plex container would randomly start filling the docker.img. Once it reached 100% used, it would go back to normal. I removed that Plex install a few days ago and that issue has not returned, so not sure if this is related at all.

I know there's not a ton to go on, but any suggestions on what else I can do to try and find out what's causing this or any other specific information I can try to provide?

Thanks,

Enable the syslog server and post that after a crash, together with fresh diagnostics.

Will do, I wasn't sure if enabling the Local Syslog Server would automatically write out it's own syslog there too.

Thanks for the help!

Sorry for necro'ing the thread. So far it hasn't happened again. Only other thing I remember doing after the last time was uninstalling the Dynamics System Info plugin. Marking JorgeB's reply as the solution and I'll make a new post with the logs and such if it happens again.

Thanks!
