September 18, 20187 yr Hi! Last night my Unraid machine restarted and "Fix Common Problems" gave me this message: Your server has detected hardware errors. You should install mcelog via the NerdPack plugin, post your diagnostics and ask for assistance on the unRaid forums. The output of mcelog (if installed) has been logged. Please let me know if it's something serious. Diagnostics attached. Thank you in advance! nas-diagnostics-20180918-1154.zip
September 18, 20187 yr Community Expert One thing that stands out is that you have a 250GB SSD drive as your cache drive. You then attempted to copy 350GB of files to the array. I am guessing that you had the User Share that was the target for this copy assigned to use the cache drive! GUESS WHAT!!!! It filled up. While this should not have closed caused a restart, you should probably not use the cache drive for this User Share until this copy is finished. Edited September 18, 20187 yr by Frank1940
September 18, 20187 yr Author Yeah, it filled up, that doesn't surprise me After it fills up then it copies the rest of files straight to the HDD. I have done this a few times and it never resulted in a restart.

Hopefully, someone else will have a better feel for what is happening here... One thing, you can do is to Google mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 0: Machine Check: 0 Bank 4: fa000010000b0c0f and look at the results. You could also try the other mce errors with Google and see if there is some commonality.

I have done this a few times and it never resulted in a restart. You should set Minimum Free on the cache drive to larger than the largest file you expect to write to cache. Then if you are writing to a cached user share, it will go ahead and overflow to the array before you actually fill up cache and get an error. Minimum Free for cache is in Global Share Settings. And of course, each user share has its own Minimum Free setting which should be set to larger than the largest file you expect to write to the user share. Unraid has no way to know how large a file will become when it chooses a disk to write it to. If there is less than minimum free on a disk, it will choose another. None of this should have anything to do with your restart though. Have you done a memtest?
September 18, 20187 yr Author So Google says it's either bad CPU or bad microcode on the motherboard. Can you do memtest headless? If not, taking NAS apart and installing GPU in it will take me around 2 hours...
