March 1, 201511 yr Is there any way to restart emhttp yet? GUI has gone unresponsive and top shows it using 100% of a CPU. This is on my second server which has no plugins of any kind.

March 1, 201511 yr Author Joy. Anyone know the best way to restart without the GUI these days? Is this still valid? :- http://www.lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Console#To_cleanly_Stop_the_array_from_the_command_line
March 1, 201511 yr Can someone verify that the unresponsiveness can be remedied by this process: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=27085.0 or this: killall emhttp /usr/local/sbin/emhttp &
March 1, 201511 yr No, restarting the GUI from command line isn't supported. The big question is why it became unresponsive to begin with. First and foremost, what plugins do you have installed? - Jon
March 1, 201511 yr Just for clarity I was referring to the OP's original question, as a matter of looking for an answer to solve their specific issue. The OP doesn't have any plugins installed on his second unRAID. It is good to know since I wasn't aware or had forgotten altogether that restarting the GUI from the command line wasn't supported. However I tested the first command (killall emhttp) and it does shut it down. Thanks.
March 1, 201511 yr Author No, restarting the GUI from command line isn't supported. The big question is why it became unresponsive to begin with. First and foremost, what plugins do you have installed? - Jon No plugins, can still telnet to the box, SMB is still working.... Not aware I was doing anything. Mover was running and there is a parity check running also. Also I have configured notifications via email. EDIT : This box runs Xen also...

March 1, 201511 yr Can you run htop from command line and then search for emhttp and take a screenshot of what you find?
March 2, 201511 yr I have the same issue as Chris. Since upgrading to from 5.06 to 6.12 and now 6.14b the GUI frequently becomes unresponsive. Everything else appears to work as normal (telnet, access to shares etc.) The only other frequent issue since upgrading is sporadic slow writes to the cache drive. Used to get 60-80 Mbs on 5.06 and now often only get 10 - 11. Occasionally it pops back up to 50-60 but then drops back to 10-11 again, apparently for no reason. I am not running any plugins and have not changed anything on my system other than upgrading Unraid
March 2, 201511 yr Here you go :- Sorry Chris, should have asked you to put it into tree view (look at bottom of screen to see the function key to press for this).

Curious if this solves your issue or not.

March 2, 201511 yr Sorry Chris, should have asked you to put it into tree view (look at bottom of screen to see the function key to press for this). Here we go :- Chris. Assuming you are in Xen mode. Can you share your syslinux configuration with me? You can copy and paste this from under the flash device settings page (click the word flash on the main tab under boot device).

How much memory do you have on this system and how much allocated to VMs?
March 2, 201511 yr Could you try going under display preferences and try setting the page update frequency at the bottom to disabled? Curious if this solves your issue or not. Made that change about 4 hours ago and so far GUI is still accessible and responsive. Will post again tomorrow after more time has elapsed.
March 2, 201511 yr Author Ok, so you aren't binding any memory to dom0. How much memory do you have on this system and how much allocated to VMs? Server has 8gb and the VM has 2gb assigned.

Made that change about 4 hours ago and so far GUI is still accessible and responsive. Will post again tomorrow after more time has elapsed. After 24 hours the GUI is still running so that appears to have fixed it. Thanks! I don't want to hijack this thread so should I start a new one about the drastic slowdown in copying to the cache drive since upgrading from 5.06 to 6?

March 3, 201511 yr I have tried setting the Display update frequency to Slow (= 1 minute). I see the time to the update counting down at the bottom, but when it gets to zero it does not actually update, and instead merely starts counting down the next minute. Using F5 to force the update gets me the changes. This is using Chrome on Windows 8.1 Pro. Anyone else seen any thing similar? I am wondering if this should be raised as a new defect report?

Yes, it seems to not to update except for the timer counting down and the Uptime changing every minute
