WebUI repeatedly unresponsive.


Recommended Posts

Hello. I am new to Unraid.  I had a windows based plex server / file server that I decided was time to protect with parity or raid.  After doing some research, I determined that Unraid would best suit my needs. I am using the latest version of the Unraid trial (I really like it so far and want to purchase a license, but only if I can resolve the issues below). 

I am having some very intermittent issues with the WebUI and all of my dockers becoming unresponsive.  This might happen multiple times a day at random times, or it might skip a day and happen multiple times afterward.

My symptoms are as follows. I might try to access something from plex, krusader or just the array on windows file explorer.  One of two things happens.  Either it works for a minute and stops working, or it doesn't work at all. Then I try to access the WebUI and it won't respond.  This happens on all browsers from multiple computers.  All the dockers also become unresponsive. I can telnet into the server, but for some reason the webui seems to have crashed and I can't bring it back online without doing a power cycle.  Not only is this not ideal, its not safe to power cycle the device multiple times a day.

This shouldn't be a ram issue. I have 32gb of ram, completed memtest without errors.  I don't think the CPU would overload either because I have a Ryzen 1700 in my server.  I realize there might be some architecture incompatibilities or something there, however.

Anyways, if someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated. I'm happy to post diagnostics files but I don't know how to obtain them.

 

Thanks,

Harry

First thing to getting intelligent help from the group is to post up a diagnostics file.   9_9    There are two ways to get this file:    'Tools'  >>>>  'Diagnostics'   which will download the file to the Download folder/directory on your PC.  If the GUI is unresponsive (as you said it was),  telnet (or SSH) in and type    diagnostics   on the command line.  That will write the file to either the root of the Flash Drive or to the logs directory.  (I can't remember which...)  You can then upload with your next post.  Obviously , it is best to get the diagnostics file after you have had problems.

I would also look at this thread

as I see your using the new AMD Ryzen. Paul and everyone else have been doing extensive testing with freezing issues and have made some headway with the problem.

Thank you for linking this thread.  I have been searching for days for other ryzen early adopters for unraid but couldn't find anything useful.  It seems (referring to page 11 of the linked thread) there are some bios options for the zen architecture regarding low power states that the linux kernal doesn't know what to do with and crashes.  Disabling those low power states seems to bring the ryzen unraid rigs to stability.

 

I will try this and post back to confirm that it worked or not.

Tools - Diagnostics, post complete zip.

I'm currently at work and can't post those files in this post. But if I try the above bios changes and still continue to experience issues, I will post diagnostics files.  Otherwise I will confirm that the issue is resolved and the thread can be closed.  Thank you for your prompt replies everyone!!

No, it seems your issue is different from mine.  According to your post it will take 30+ seconds for the page to respond.  Mine wouldn't respond at all, and eventually time out.  This was happening on multiple computers (with or without antivirus) and every browser under the sun.

However, referring back to my earlier post, my issue seems to be resolved after disabling Global C-state Control in the bios.  This is a known workaround for ryzen instability issues with unraid.

This thread can be closed as I'm pretty sure my issue is resolved.  Kind of early to tell for sure, but approaching 24 hours of up time which is a first for this server. Thanks for the help guys.

I am not running a Ryzen processor but experiencing the same thing. Im am using an AMD 7860K. I pulled the Log file from the Krusader app  and copied the part that keeps repeating.

Thanks in advance

System diagnostics are attached as well.

@shanelovell, I would suggest that you copy your post and paste that text (with your diagnostics file) into a new thread on this sub-forum.  The reason being that these types of problems often have different causes and solutions and, in addition, the real gurus will already be skipping over this thread since the OP's problem has been solved.
