July 20, 20169 yr A Dutch 'hallo' from a fellow Unraid enthousiast from The Netherlands, Recently I've made the switch from FreeNAS to Unraid and boy am I pleasantly surprised by the ease of dockers! I'm no novice to Linux and such but it saves a lot of time and hassle and I really like to thank all of you who have invested and still invest time in creating and maintaining the docker images! You guys (girls) on this forum made the transition real easy as well with a lot of useful information in the forum posts, also a big time saver, thanks! One disturbing thing I notice with my installment of the 6.2 public beta (recently RC2) is that once a week at various intervals (not linked to a particular event) the main tab with the overview of installed drives get's garbled with literally no disks showing, the buttons underneath (with which you can perform a graceful reboot and such) are lost and the only remaining option is to perform a 'hard reset' with the on/off button. The docker apps however keep running but as soon as they need to write something to any of the disks then they fail as well. I've of course filtered and searched the forums before asking this, but do any of you have any idea? Being new and a recent convert from FreeNAS I've not yet had a chance to salvage the log (which is flushed after a reboot) so I do apologize for that and am searching for how to save the log to the USB (sandisk cruzer) so it's is saved for prosperity (do you know?) at least so that I can see what happened prior to this mysterious behavior... Kind regards, Ben
July 20, 20169 yr Hey Ben, welcome and glad you're enjoying it. Couple of plugins may help you get the logs. 1. Powerdown plugin - Will save the log to USB on reboot. 2. Fix Common Problems plugin - Has a troubleshooting mode to help grab logs
July 20, 20169 yr Author Hey CHBMB, Thanks for the advice, I've added the powerdown package plugin and included the scripts that the author advised in his forum post(s). So fingers crossed that next time the array freezes and a reset is needed there will be log-evidence in the /boot/logs directory to investigate it further. Kind regards from Holland!
July 20, 20169 yr Just a note that fix common problems is not designed to run for weeks in troubleshooting mode. If a crash doesn't happen with a couple of days i would restart the server to cancel the troubleshooting mode Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk
July 21, 20169 yr Author Hi Squid, Thanks very much for the warning, for now I'll be using the powerdown package and gather intel. Also I've increased the RAM that's used for logging to 384Mb as the default amount is insufficient (I'm also using the statistics package). Must say that other than this the 6.2 RC2 release is already very stable. FreeNAS uses all available RAM (16GB) for ZFS. Using Unraid this amount of RAM is a real luxury, much of it is doing... nothing Suggestions anyone?
