Mac OS X (10.9+) and unRAID Issues: Anyone else having nagging problems?

Featured Replies

I've been having little persistent nagging problems with unRAID shares and Mac OS X, at least as far back as Mac OS X 10.9 and unRAID 5:

 

1)  All volumes unexpectedly unmount from desktop of a target unRAID server; usually during prolonged access, such as during a large block transfer with hundreds of not thousands of smaller files, and/or when trying to access another directory or volume on the unRAID server either after a long period of inactivity or during aforementioned block transfer.  This happens with both SMB (my primary access) and AFP.

 

2)  Long access times when opening folders, which may result in all volumes from the target unRAID server being unexpectedly unmounted.  This happens under both SMB and AFP.

 

3)  Time Machine backups always fail with Mac OS X losing all network connectivity completely; I have restart the network interface itself via command line or restart the computer.  This is under Yosemite and unRAID 6, but never tested to see if this bug is present in older versions of OS X.  Now, I don't have a specific single disk in the unRAID box dedicate strictly to Time Machine but I've read that it may be necessary to only have the Time Machine User Share be assigned to one disk.

 

I have two different and dissimilar unRAID servers on my network, both under the current beta version of 6.0, and both experience these issues with my main Mac OS X machine, which I had performed a recent clean OS X Yosemite install and the problems persist.

 

I'm just trying to determine if these are unRAID issues and/or Mac OS X issues in order to elevate the problems to the right party(ies).

Yes, i had nr 2 also or maybee it is both 1 and 2.. And the OS think they are mounted but i can't connect to them.

Annoying and i reboot to get it started again.

I use OS X (10.10.4) and unRAID 6.0.1 with no problems. Why are you running a beta? 6.0.0 was released weeks ago and 6.0.1 recently.

Please upgrade to 6.0.1 and report back.

I've got the latest version; since using the built-in update mechanism in unRAID 6 I no longer visit the download website and the updater doesn't make it really obvious that the final version was actually released after all these years.

 

As I said, these nagging issues have always been persistent since at least v5 and OS X 10.9 and are still persistent in the latest 6.0.1, but not sure if its OS X or unRAID.

 

#3 in my original post is obviously an OS X bug in regards to losing all network connectivity (both wired and wireless) and it's already been reported to Apple.

I'm also experiencing similar problems.

 

1) When copying files to unRaid, finder crashes and can leave partial files on the share.

2) Webgui becomes unresponsive and I'm pretty sure it's due to a corruption somewhere when Plex is running a scan (the scan doesn't complete) (Webgui not accessible until a forced restart)

 

I'm currently running a file system test on my drives. One drive has passed and the other is in progress. A recent parity check was fine.

 

I have two almost identical servers at present both running 6.1 rc2, and only one has a problem. They're not hardware identical though!

I'm experiencing similar problems. This occurred on v5 and continues to happen on 6.0.1, on both SMB and AFP.

This is definitely happening on my end; however, Plex isn't running a scan during the process (auto-detect is turned off).

 

During prolonged access, as noted by the OP, if I try to navigate within the unRAID and/or copy a file, the Finder crashes and the unRAID webgui becomes  inaccessible until a forced restart (I typically can telnet in, but the powerdown script hangs).

 

When I remember to, my workaround is to disconnect whenever I'm done with an activity and reconnect when necessary. But, this is less than ideal, especially since I typically forget.

 

Any updates or suggestions?

Running mostly OSX 6.8 but also OSX 8.5 & UnRaid 6.1.3 & 5.0.4 with no issues connecting or staying connected with multiple Macs.

I do have one system with OSX 9 but don't use it much.

However #2 on the list, loooooong access times initially. Takes 2 & 1/2 minutes to get 3 folders down. Using both AFP & SMB.

Not a lot of files just a few image files from backups.
