hermy65 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I am running 6 stable and have 1 windows 8 vm running on it. It has 3 cores and up to 4GB of memory. Since upgrading to 6 i noticed that after a while my unraid machine would become unresponsive and i would have to manually power it down. Today i have finally narrowed it down to this happens only when the VM is running as it has yet to happen when the VM is not running. Most recently I was working on the VM until about 5pm and now at 8:30pm my machine is unresponsive. Attached is a syslog from a couple of days ago when this was happening, i thought i had managed to copy it to my flash from the command line before powering off but apparently i did not. If this syslog will not work let me know and i can try to recreate syslog.zip Link to comment
archedraft Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 What are your current system specs? Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 type "diagnostics" on the command line. Attach the file that's written to the flash. Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 System specs are i7-3770 / 16GB RAM When i type diagnostics on the command line i get this - cp: cannot stat ‘/boot/config/*.conf’: No such file or directory I ran the diagnostics from the Tools menu and have attached that, hopefully they are the same thing storage-diagnostics-20150624-0742.zip Link to comment
itimpi Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 System specs are i7-3770 / 16GB RAM When i type diagnostics on the command line i get this - cp: cannot stat ‘/boot/config/*.conf’: No such file or directory Interesting. I just tried it on my own system and did not get that error. Looking on the flash drive there is a smb-extra.conf file - I am guessing that is not present on your system. Having said that is it actually a fatal error (i.e. did you look to see if a ZIP file was created in the 'logs' folder on the flash drive). I ran the diagnostics from the Tools menu and have attached that, hopefully they are the same thing The option from the Tools menu should invoke that same script to create the zip file. Since that obviously finished OK I was wondering if the error you mentioned when invoked from the command line can be ignored. Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 That command did create a zip file in my logs folder so it was not a fatal error Link to comment
jonp Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sound like your flash device was previously uncleanly unmounted, causing it to enter a read only state. What happens if you do this? touch /boot/test Similar error? Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 that command works fine. Im not sure how that has anything to do with the instability that my initial issue is Link to comment
jonp Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Sorry, my bad. Mistook this thread for another one I'm watching. Can you elaborate on "unresponsive"? Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 Once it happens i can no longer SSH into the machine, access the web interface or browse to the machine through explorer. I also am unable to access any plugins, docker containers or VMs that are running on it Link to comment
jonp Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 The last diagnostics file you posted...was that collected when the system was in this unaccessible state from a local console? Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 no it was not it was from after having to reboot the machine after it went unresponsive Link to comment
jonp Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Ok, the next time this occurs, can you get the diagnostics from the local console? There should be good info in there after it enters this state so we can diagnose what's going on. Also, to confirm, from the local console you are able to safely shut down the system after this occurs, yes? Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Share Posted June 25, 2015 It has been hit or miss shutting down from the console. Maybe its the directions im using, maybe not. Is there a good guide on what to do? This is what i have been following http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Console#To_cleanly_Stop_the_array_from_the_command_line Link to comment
jonp Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 You should be able to type powerdown -r from the command line. Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I ran my VM until my system became unresponsive again today. Attached are diagnostics from when it was unresponsive as well as a syslog from the same time storage-diagnostics-20150626-1409.zip syslog2.zip Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Does unRAID Main show any counts in the Error column? Disk 3 has a pending sector. See here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshooting#Resolving_a_Pending_Sector Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 It does now, however, that is new and was not there when i created the thread about my instability issues when VMs are running Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Are you running the unassigned devices plugin? Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 No I am not running an unassigned devices plugin , I had a new drive in the machine unassigned. I have also replaced the drive with the errors Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 After rebuild do a parity check. Does the original issue persist? Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Rebuild and parity checks are both complete. Tried running the VM again and my machine became unresponsive again after a while. I forgot to grab a diagnostics report though while it was unresponsive, any other ideas on how to proceed? Link to comment
jonp Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Without a syslog from when the system became unresponsive, we don't have a way of diagnosing what is causing it. Link to comment
hermy65 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I let the VM run until everything happened again and have attached a syslog from when my system was unresponsive as well as diagnostics from that same time. storage-diagnostics-20150629-1111.zip syslog3.zip Link to comment
dgaschk Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It seems much more likely that the plug-ins are causing the problem. They should be converted to dockers. Find replacements in the dockers forum. Link to comment
