January 11Jan 11 I have noticed a weird issue now with my new unraid setup, it was working quite fine for some time.I updated it and then now suddenly when transferring files or sometimes updating things the server will just restart on it's own and then run a parity scan. Not sure if I may have added a setting by accident or i have something turned on but I would like my server to stay on always without any issues and when transferring things i do it in bulk and the random restarts ruins the transfers causing me lots of work.Thanks for taking the time to assist let me know what I can do to figure this out together <3tower-diagnostics-20260111-1459.zip attached is my diagnostics

Everything goes through RAM. The OS and other executable code, your DATA. EVERYTHING. The CPU can't do anything with anything until it is loaded into RAM.
January 17Jan 17 Author Apologies was away for work I will attempt the syslog setup today and tomorrow and will update this thread thank you, tested the ram everything seems fine but will try to check everything here.

January 26Jan 26 Author syslog-192.168.1.217.logCan't figure this out i tested all the hardware and everything is responsive and functional outside the unraid but within it keeps crashing and this started after the upgrade of the UNRAID OS, am i not spotting something here?

March 1Mar 1 Yes. Do a trial and use it any way you can think of. If everything works as it should, you can transfer your license over to the new usb stick.

I ran some repairs a while back but the restarting kept happening, i do have a lot of appdata now backed up. open to any instructions or suggestions thanks for working with me.
