February 9, 20179 yr I've been having recent stability issues with my unRaid server. The timing of the problem is leading me to believe its related to upgrading to 6.3.0/6.3.1, but that has yet to be confirmed. The server contains a large amount of experimental data which is being processed by my desktop, with the results being written back to the server. Thus data is constantly streaming from and to the server (think 30 MB/s for 24 hrs straight). However, recently the processing is failing because the network connection to the server is dropping out. This usually causes the server to become unresponsive via the webgui and ssh, and so I'll have to reboot it by lugging a keyboard and monitor down to my basement. Attached is a syslog captured while the processing is running. I'm by no means an expert at interpreting unRaid logs, but these errors caught my eye Feb 9 15:27:52 FMRLSERV kernel: sky2 0000:02:00.0: error interrupt status=0x8 Feb 9 15:27:52 FMRLSERV kernel: sky2 0000:02:00.0: error interrupt status=0x40000008 Feb 9 15:27:52 FMRLSERV kernel: sky2 0000:02:00.0 eth0: rx error, status 0x7ffc0001 length 828 Feb 9 15:27:52 FMRLSERV kernel: sky2 0000:02:00.0 eth0: rx error, status 0x7ffc0001 length 876 Feb 9 15:27:52 FMRLSERV kernel: sky2 0000:02:00.0 eth0: rx error, status 0x7ffc0001 length 1084 Doing some quick googling leads me to believe there is a hardware/driver issue with my onboard LAN adapter, which is Marvell 88E8056 on an Asus P5K/EPU mobo. My hardware configuration has been solid up until now (for approx. 1 year), so I'm inclined to believe its not a hardware failure problem. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
February 9, 20179 yr The sky2 driver has been generally shit for years. Buy a better network card - even a RealTek is better, at least the drivers don't suck with those. Ideally, an Intel card - there's hundreds available for basically nothing on eBay or the likes.
February 9, 20179 yr Author Yeah I'm seeing that by doing some searching on the forums. I think I have an old 10/100 Intel card laying around. I will switch it in and see if the problem persists.
