my Ram cache is very large and increase rapidly, im not sure why its doing it. i think its the reason why my server is not responding after a few days of continues up time.

in the past it  would be on for weeks with no porblems. my server has 12G of ram and is currently at over 7G cashed. can someone please help me i have been looking for a solution for weeks now

That looks entirely normal.  I'd look elsewhere for any problems you are having.  Can you reach the server via telnet/SSH when it becomes unresponsive?

Linux caches any unused ram and releases it as required. As tdallen stated, that looks fine

 

oh really, last few days it wont respond with ip in browser and i just get a black screen when i connect to a monitor. its never happen b4 so im not even sure what to do lol right now its all working fine.. all though yesterday allll 4 of my drives had read errors and i had never seen that b4 either.

sorry im super new too using unraid its only been probably 6 months.

That would be a good time to grab and post your diagnostics, still good if you haven't' rebooted since.

i had to reboot the server i tried to unmount them and remount them but it wouldn't work, it said there was no drives but a restart fixed it but i had to rebuild my drive one.

here is my current report if anyone sees anything not looking right would be amazing if you could help me out. or if anyone sees something that could make things in general better.

Your 4 data disks are on a Marvell controller, these are know to have issues and drop disks willy-nilly, almost certainly what happened to you before, I bet parity had no read errors, only the data disks, you have 6 onboard ports, enough for all your disks, 1st thing would be to move all disks over and see if things improve.

ohk, sweet! if i change the port to the Motehr board will that affect it in any way?

Also do you have any good suggestions for controller cards for future drives?

It won't affect the array, unRAID tracks disks by serial number.

LSI are the best controllers for current unRAID.

sweet thanks so much. so do you think that is what caused unraid to crash the other day?

Pretty sure it was what caused the read errors on the 4 disks, the other crashes hard to say, but it's definitely a possibility.

alright thanks for the help, what are other ways to gett access to the server i only use the browser. but the last time when it went dead i couldn't do anything but restart witch messed disk one up lol. 

SSH, google putty.

thanks, ima have to do some resarch on it thanks alot i dont wana take up all your time haha. ima go into the server gotta do a cleaning anyway and take out that card and just use motherboard. thanks agin have a great weekend.
