Unraid 6.5.1 locking up once a week, requiring hard reset to recover

Featured Replies

Hi Everyone,

 

Im trying to configure an unraid server on a new NAS build that i purchased a few weeks ago and im running into a pretty bad lockup problem:

 

Problem:

Approximately once per week, the unraid box becomes completely unresponsive, (webui goes down, ssh doesn't work, ping doesn't work, monitor + keyboard unresponsive), requiring a hard reset to fix.

 

Steps to reproduce:

run Unraid for ~1 week, wake up to find the server is crashed

 

Server config:

  • 2x E5 2660 v2
  • 32GB ECC ram
  • Super micro dual LGA2011 Mobo
  • 4x HGST HDD (3 drive, 1 parity)
  • 2x 500 GB SSD (1x XFS cache drive, 1x UD XFS stratch drive)

 

Things i've alreayd tired:

  1. Memtest: ran for 24hrs, no failures
  2. changed from BRTFS cache pool (2 drives) to 1x XFS drive for cache pool (and 1 drive for 'other')

 

I've attached the most recent diagnostic and tail from FCP

 

Any advice would be appreciated

Are you sure it has power when it is unresponsive?

Yes,
The peripherals still had power (monitor/keyboard) and the fans were still spinning.

 

 

I'm having similar problems but infrequently. Unraid locks up. Pings to server fail and console is non responsive. If it helps I have posted diags and syslog before (I have troubleshooting mode enabled). You should be able to find them by looking for my posts but can post again if needed. Still no closer to any resolution.

This happened again overnight. 

 

Anyone have any ideas? i've been trying to debug this for almost my whole trial period.

 

Hi. I've got similar symptoms. Latest lockup left an MCE message on the screen.

 

It might be worthwhile installing mcelog in case you are getting hardware errors. If you want to do it, you first install the nerd tools plugin and then open it and select mcelog.

 

I haven't had a re-occurance yet, but hoping that I might capture something with it.

Ok, i've installed mcelog. 

 

does it automatically add to my syslog? or do i need to run another command?

If you've got Fix Common Problems installed, then the next time a scan runs (usually daily), if a Machine Check Error is present, it will automatically log the output of mcelog

 

Other than that, to do it manually

mcelog

@Squid i tried running mcelog on my machine, but i keep getting an error message that /proc/mcelog doesn't exist.

 

Ideas?

yup!

Sorry. Don't get that message at all.

 

*maybe* I'm not getting it yet as I haven't had an MCE to capture? It might be worthwhile persisting with getting mcelog working correctly in case it's trying to capture a problem.

 

Hopefully someone else here can help with this error.

Does look the same as this before hand? Because this is what mine is doing.... Doesn't matter what tab you click on, nothing loads. I can access terminal though.

If you have an ad blocker whitelist your server.

Update:

I wanted to make sure i was on the newest firmware and bios, and it looks like i am. so no possible solution there

 

I did have another crash last night:

  • It occurred around 1 am local, and based on the syslog_tail and diagnotiscs info (attached)
  • This corresponds to a CATERR event in my BIOS: (my bios clock is wrong, it's 8:30 am, and my bios clock is listing 14:30)

CATERR - Asserted

 

 

so im now working under the assumption that this CATERR is the root cause of the instability

 

What could cause a CATERR? whats the debugpath?

I have had this issue since owning Supermicro X11SAE-M

 

It will only happen when starting/shutdown of a LibreELEC VM. The motherboard CATERR_LED will glow orange and the machine needs to be reset, triggering a parity check once rebooted.

 

I have never been able to capture any logs as its an extreme system halt. FWIW the system has been up for 1 hr before error, i never leave the server on for more than a day.
