My unRaid server has become increasingly unstable. It has random lockups. It is unresponsive to anything. I can't pull diagnostics when it gets in the state. The best I can do is grab logs after a forced shutdown and a screenshot of a remote KVM session while it is locked up. I've attached it. If I run "Fix Common problems" in troubleshooting mode, it never seems to lock up. I am going to try again, but this is getting frustrating. It seems to have all started after upgrading from 6.3.5. I am currently on 6.5.0.

It just happened again right after I upgraded to v 6.5.1. It had barely run for 10 minutes before it became unresponsive. Once again I could not grab any logs only a screenshot of a remote KVM session. This is getting really frustrating. It works fine when FCP plugin is running in troubleshooting mode.

Unfortunately the potentially useful stuff has scrolled off the top of the screen. I'd run Memtest86 from the boot menu for 24 hours or so then run FCP in troubleshooting mode again.

I have FCP in troubleshooting mode again. Once again it is running fine. If I turn off troubleshooting mode and it crashes, it is at a state that I can't pull any logs.

Just keep an eye on the amount of space the logs are taking up while in troubleshooting mode. Grab you diagnostics while you can and post. They might show something.

Here are my current logs

I believe these are logs right before my upgrade.

So after turning off VMs completely (I noticed that it was enabled a while back, but never worried about it) my unRaid tower has been running stable.

So 9 days and 5 hours later my tower is stable as ever. Somehow turning off VMs helped keep it stable.
