I have a folder on a user share thatI am trying to delete. I dont seem to have a problem with other folders. Every time i try to delete this folder in windows it hangs and eventually fails. Once this happens I cannot access the network shares or the web gui. I was able to connect via putty and get the syslog information that pertains to the issue. This has happened before an the only thing I could do was physically cut the power to the machine to restart it. After a restart it ran parity sync which was running at about 70KB/sec for a good hour and then went up to the usual 50-70MB/sec. Parity check finished without errors.

 

My syslog is attached and i am running the latest beta version of unraid. I hope someone can help me. I wold like to be able to shutdown the machine without having to run the parity check again if at all possible.

 

Thanks for taking the time to read.

syslog.txt

The syslog fragment is not sufficient to diagnose the issue. Did you collect the entire syslog?

Appreciate the reply!

 

Turns out it was a disk with a dodgy file system. I ran reiserfsck as described in the following wiki article

After running that everything is working just fine. I realised this may be the problem as one of my memory dimms died on me a few weeks ago. Hope this helps someone else.

I have no clue whats causing you problem(s), but I can tell you what I found works for me if smb folder access gets stubborn or if I need to reboot and the webGUI crashed.

 

I sometimes have stubborn folders that I cannot be deleted/rename via smb, too. I could resolve the problem in two ways:

a) Telnet/ssh to tower and delete via command line or midnight commander

b) run the "new permissions" script (webGUI -> Utils)

well, b) is not option for you and I am not sure it is the proper way to deal with this in general, but it does the trick for me. If the problem persists you can give it a try after a reboot when the webGUI is back.

 

As for how to reboot the tower if the webGUI crashed, I found 3 convenient ways to do it.

a) if you have installed unMenu (and it crashed along with the webGUI) you can restart it

telnet/ssh into tower, then

cd /boot/unmenu

uu

then reboot via unMenu webinterface

b) use the powerdown script (available via unMenu)

cd /root

powerdown

c) unRAID  management script from Joe L.

(I ran the script and found it pretty neat, but I did not test the the shutdown functionality yet)

Instructions are here:

Not so convenient, but in the wiki is also explained how to do all necessary steps by hand (bring the array offline etc.) ...

 

I hope this helps you a bit.

 

Cheers!
