goinsnoopin Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Since upgrading to Unraid 6, I have had several instances of the webgui becoming unresponsive and smbd processes spawning. I have several posts about this on the forum. I am still having this issue and I wanted to post what I have done and what I plan to do moving forward. I have updated my hardware to the following: AsRock Z97 Extreme6, i7 4790K, 16 GB ram, Corsair TX650 Powersupply, HD5450 GPU for passthrough to my Win7 VM, all new Sata Cables and I removed my add on AOCSASMV8 Sata card. All my disks are reiserfs and I never installed any of the Unraid 6 betas. I have booted Unraid in safemode, and started the array in maintenance mode and have run reiserfsck on all disk and get no corruptions found. I am having the exact same crashes with this hardware as I did with my old Supermicro C2SEE motherboard and 2 GB of ram. The only difference this time around is that with my updated hardware I am running windows 7 64 bit pro as a VM. The interesting thing is that when the webgui crashes....the VM still runs and I can browse the web, etc as long as I dont try and read or write to the files with samba. Attached is the diagnostics for my most recent crash, as well as a screenshot from htop showing the CPU at 500%? The only two things that have not been replaced are the unraid flash drive (however I did run checkdisk on it and found no errors) and the drives themselves. I have ordered a new 3 TB drive and it will arrive on Friday. At this point I plan on attempting a conversion to the XFS file format. One item I mentioned to Jonp is that two years ago, I had an add on sata card that was based on the SIL3132 chipset that was found to be the cause of some silent corruptions. Not sure if that could have done something to my data, but figure I should give conversion to XFS a shot. Any sugestions, just let me know. Dan tower-diagnostics-20151111-0722.zip Link to comment
plupien79 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 This sounds a lot like the issues that I and some others are having. An attempt is made to write to the array, then for some currently unexplained reason, the write operation doesn't work, but also doesn't fail or create any errors. Then the SHFS process involved just sits using as much CPU as it can raising the load on the server until it becomes unresponsive. You then hard reset (a software reboot fails) do a parity check and find no errors. Are there any messages on the physical console? Link to comment
goinsnoopin Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Plupien79, Your description for the hard reset matches mine. There have not been any messages on the physical console. Sometimes I am able to to telnet to the console and grab a diagnostics file...sometimes I can not. Dan Link to comment
plupien79 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I switched all my data drives to XFS over the last week. However it is far too soon to tell if this resolves the issue. Same hardware had 163 days of uptime before switching to version 6. Current record with version 6 is 14 days. Link to comment
goinsnoopin Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 While I am waiting for my 3 TB drive (arrives tomorrow), I am switching from a Windows 7 VM to a Windows 10 VM just to see if there is any difference. I had over a year of uptime with unraid 5...currently my uptime is less than 24 hours. It leaves me very concerned...I don't know if I can get the drive precleared in that time frame...also worried about the data transfer. Dan Link to comment
goinsnoopin Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Two weeks ago, I converted all of my reiserfs drives to XFS and my system has been running perfect! I just wanted to take a minute and thank those of you who took the time to respond to my numerous posts on Unraid 6 being unresponsive. Dan Link to comment
