Hi,

 

I was using version 5 of Unraid up until about a year ago, then shifted to version 6 which I really like.

Unfortunately I had freezes that would occur ranomly, sometimes it would go two weeks, other times just a few days.

It seemed to happen when there was a lot of disk access from multiple sources, eg something trying to write while another trying to read.

 

What happened is that, the web interface would stop responding and the shares would die.

You could still telnet in though, what I found was that if I went into /mnt and went through each disk and did a ls command, i would eventually strike a disk that wasnt responding.

 

I had two marvel sas cards and thought maybe it was incompatability with those (some known issues with version 6).

Recently I just swapped those out for IBM M1015's cross flashed into IT mode.

 

The same thing is happening though

 

Before the ls command would die on different drives however so far its been the same drive 3 times in a row.. no errors on it if i run parity etc but for some reason it's frozen up and not responding at all.

Is this a type of behaviour a drive could exhibit?  anything else I should be looking for?

It is a WD Red 3TB

 

 

If you're still using reiserfs convert one of your disks to xfs, limit all writes to that disk, if it helps convert remaining disks.

I migrated all the drives to XFS, took a long time.. but worth it... a stable system... loving it.

Now I am really enjoying the step up from Version 5
