Hello, I have been having reoccurring issues for the last few weeks with accessing unraid via the gui. I am able to access the server through ssh and smb. This has happened a few times in recent past, I have tried maxing out my RAM to 32GB, rebuilding the cache pool, deleting all docker containers and rebuilding them.

 

I found a command on another topic where someone was unable to use the gui, I ran the same command "lsof -Pni" and then I noticed the following line:

emhttp     5653   root    5u  IPv4 9157647      0t0  TCP 192.168.1.254:80->192.168.1.230:60921 (CLOSE_WAIT)

 

 

Please can someone advise me on what I should try next? Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

There are a number of reasons for GUI access to be unavailable.  But the emhttp process is one function that can not be restarted if it is shutdown to secure more memory.  Unfortunately, the Disk caching function is one of the ones that is almost impossible to shutdown and actually serves very little function in the type of environment that unRAID uses.  And installing more memory just compounds the issue! 

 

If this does not help the situation, post up the diagnostics file.  Since your GUI will not be available at this point, you can type diagnostics on the command line.  That will write the file in the logs  folder/directory of your flash drive.
