April 10, 201511 yr Encountered an issue in latest build UnRaid v6 which causes the ethernet connection to fail and subsequently flood the network crashing the network until the server is turned off or unplugged. Environment Information ================ UnRaid trial version: unRAIDServer-6.0-beta14b-x86_64.zip USB 3.0 32GB SanDisk Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V Pro i5 2500K, 16GB Memory Drives: Parity: 4TB Seagate Data1: 2TB Hitachi (on Mobo) Data2: 2TB Hitachi (on Mobo) How to Reproduce ============ 1. Default USB install of unRAIDServer-6.0-beta14b-x86 trial (no additional configurations, unzip files, move to USB, make USB bootable) 2. Drives installed in BLUE (2 - 4TB and 2TB) and Grey (1 - 2TB) Sata ports (both ports 6GB/s) 3. No other equipment installed in system. 4. Using Intel 82579 gigabit ethernet port 5. Server boots normally. 6. Tower prompt displays. 7. Anywhere from a fews seconds to a few minutes, the server panics. Video of server boot and console display can be found here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35207785/20150410_104554.mp4 Other Information =========== Full forum topic at: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39172.0 showing the various things I tried (i.e. comparing driver issue with Unbuntu, etc), and general evolution of the issue. Happy to do phone/video conference as necessary to help the cause... Jeff...
April 11, 201511 yr Author I found an updated driver for Linux on the Intel site (v3.1.0.2 dated 6/26/2014). Don't know what the version of the driver is in Unraid 6, perhaps it is this one... https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/15817/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCI-E-Gigabit-Network-Connections-under-Linux- Would it make sense to try this driver to solve this problem? I'm really desperate to get going on a solution...ready to buy a couple of pro keys (have several servers to build), but can't move forward til I solve this issue. Thoughts anyone? Thanks... Jeff...

Drivers are built into the Linux kernel itself and so as we upgrade the Kernel, whatever drivers were included by the manufacturer at the time are then included. Can you share the contents of your network.cfg file under the config folder of your flash device?
April 15, 201511 yr Author Its the default, I've not made any changes yet. # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=yes IPADDR= NETMASK= GATEWAY= I will be defining this as I have under UnRaid 5. # Generated network settings USE_DHCP=no IPADDR=192.168.1.100 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 But for now, just trying to get the adapter to function on the network. A ping return from 127.0.0.1 would make me do backflips!
April 19, 201511 yr Author As you requested, just tried 6b15... Failed on both 82579 mobo NIC and the Intel Pro/1000 PCI-e within 30 sec's of root login. 82579 Failure trace...(BIOS Intel LAN enabled) http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150419-ac3r-191kb Pro/1000 failure trace...(BIOS Intel LAN disabled, insert adapter http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150419-ppyv-169kb Interesting to note it did not Panic this time. The server was unresponsive (no ping, etc), but the display was not locked up (could type 'enter' and characters) but was unresponsive.
April 28, 201511 yr That's odd. I've got UnRAID running just fine on the onboard i218-V on my board, and I've tested with an older Intel Pro/1000PT (which I think is the same chipset you're using). I've also tested an i210AT which worked just fine too. Intel is the last NIC I'd expect to have issues.
April 28, 201511 yr A data point from a similar card (Intel 82574L), works great for me - From the syslog Apr 19 08:28:27 JacoBack kernel: e1000e: Intel® PRO/1000 Network Driver - 2.3.2-k Apr 19 08:28:27 JacoBack kernel: e1000e: Copyright© 1999 - 2014 Intel Corporation.

Can you try adjusting on the network settings page the STP setting? If set to No, set to Yes instead. If set to Yes, flip it to No. Please report back if issues persist and what setting you ended up using.
May 5, 201511 yr Author Hey Jonp, Sorry, I missed your post on this one and just found it. I went to 'flip' Enable STP as you suggested, but Enable STP is greyed out...i.e. I can't change it. http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150505-zxav-201kb Is there something I need to flip elsewhere to have Enable STP work?
May 6, 201511 yr Author Appologies sent the wrong one - http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150505-manf-119kb
May 6, 201511 yr Appologies sent the wrong one - http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20150505-manf-119kb You need to change "Setup bridge" to "yes" first, it will unlock the STP setting.
May 6, 201511 yr Author Got it. I'm currently running with the Pro/1000 adapter. Been running for 24 hours. I'll leave that running until it fails, then I'll switch back to the mobo NIC and flip STP and report back.
May 6, 201511 yr Author Fascinating, as soon as I say that, it crashes! Too weird. So attached is the syslog, but this time I got a general protection fault. The terminal on the server is locked and ping unreachable. The LAN is functional (i.e. no network flooding). The terminal screen and the last 50 of the syslog are the same. Files too big for the forum, so here are links... Syslog https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35207785/20150506-0633-Syslog.txt Screenshot (apologies, a bit blurry) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35207785/2015-05-06%2018.27.38.jpg Hopefully this helps... Thanks in advance for the time to crawl through my syslog. Sincerely appreciate the wisdom... 20150506_0633_Syslog.txt
May 6, 201511 yr Have you tried running memtest overnight? There are several segfaults in your logfile from various programs like PHP and WGET. Have you tried running without plugins? It looks like you have some ProFtpd plugin running as well.
May 7, 201511 yr Author Yes, previously run memtest for over 24 hours. Just installed the FTP plugin this afternoon, just before the crash. It was the first plugin I've installed.
May 7, 201511 yr Hmm... As the author of the ProFTPd plugin I'll follow this threed. Could the problem be related to disk trouble? jeffreywhunter posted this screenshot in my ProFTPd plugin thread.
May 7, 201511 yr Author Regarding disk problems, if you're referring to the orange alert, it appears that UR 6 has some challenges with SMART reporting. This has shown up after I reboot. I've run smart tests (short) and no issues so far. I posted the ticket and discussion here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39701.msg371930#msg371930 Let me know if you want me to check anything.
