Server Lock Up - Can't login via console, webUI or SSH

Featured Replies

This issue crops up every now and then for me, and seems to be aggravated when I run multiple VM's.

My unRAID server totally locks up and I get disconnected from RDP sessions to my VM's.

The WebUI becomes inaccessible (timeout on port 80)

SSH is refused:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.212 port 22: Connection refused

Something seems to be alive though since I can still ping the IP, and a port scan shows multiple ports up.

% nmap 192.168.1.212

Starting Nmap 7.99 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2026-05-06 21:41 +0200

Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.212

Host is up (0.034s latency).

Not shown: 994 closed tcp ports (conn-refused)

PORT STATE SERVICE

80/tcp open http

139/tcp open netbios-ssn

445/tcp open microsoft-ds

5900/tcp open vnc

5901/tcp open vnc-1

5902/tcp open vnc-2

I can even open a telnet session to port 80, but no data is returned if I try send a basic HTTP request.

% telnet 192.168.1.212 80

Trying 192.168.1.212...

Connected to 192.168.1.212.

Escape character is '^]'.

GET / HTTP/1.0

^C^]

telnet> quit

If I try login locally via the console, I enter my username but can't get to the password prompt. I get a 60 second timeout and dropped back to the login prompt.

The only fix is a hard reboot, to which I can then access my system for a while until this happens again.

I have no idea how I'd even approach diagnosing this, i've tried a clean install, wiping my flash and restoring the license as if it were a new install.

I run this on an intel nuc i7 10th gen, and at this rate I think the hardware is just not a good fit for unRAID.

Anyone have any ideas?

What do you get from command line with this?

ls -lah /mnt
