Difficulty with upgrade to v6 - suspect configuration issue

Featured Replies

I have an unRaid system I've been running for about 3 years now with v5. Decided to upgrade to 6, read lots of threads before attempting the upgrade.  On Friday I performed the upgrade and didn't run into any known issues. I let the system run for 24hrs and it even did a scheduled parity check (i forgot I configured it to do so every Saturday). All of that worked fine, no errors or issues.  I installed a few plugins of interest, specifically the preclear utility script, and started a preclear on a 4TB drive in the system.

 

About 5 hrs into the preclear, the system became unresponsive. I happened to have the GUI in a tab and noticed the CPU went to 100% before it stopped responding or updating. I SSH'd into the system in the hopes of getting the diagnostics to run so I would have something to show all of you, but the diagnostics fails to complete.  The system is still up and responding to SSH, I can tail the syslog (below) and i can run top (also below).  I notice in the syslog that the mover has started to move "TVShows" - which is what leads me to think I've configured something wrong.  TVShows is the root of about 10TB's of content - which might explain the 100% CPU and non-responsive GUI, and the inability to stream content from the array.

 

What I don't understand is WHY the mover is moving TVShows. It's not on the cache drive, it's stored on various disks in the array.  Back in v5 I had set specific drives to be used for TVShows, and different drives to be used for Movies.  When I migrated to v6, I no longer see the option to pick specific drives (or I haven't found it yet) so I basically left the drive settings at "default".  Is there a setting/configuration in v6 that I missed that is causing the system to copy TVShows to other drives or something?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

 

Jeff

I'm suspecting it's not a configuration issue ... I'm having almost exactly the same problem.  I had tried once before to upgrade to 6 when it was still in beta and had exactly the same issue, about every three days the server would just become unresponsive and need to be forced down with a hard reset.  At that time I was using and extremely vanilla setup, no plugins, no dockers just a few shares and decided to go back to version 5 until a stable version of 6 was out.

 

Decided to use some time off at the holidays to upgrade to 6 and just as the last time a little after three days it went zombie on me.

I just saw your thread. Sure seems to be a similar issue. SHFS is doing something lengthy that's causing 100% CPU utilization. Are we just being impatient and it's "supposed" to do what it's doing?

Does your log say the same thing as the OP?

Unfortunately my system completely locked up before I could get a look at the log and I had to hard reset it, which wiped the logs.  If history is any indication I'll become unresponsive again in a few days and hopefully I'll be able to take another look
