Zandor300 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Hi, My biggest server (Silicon) is having performance issues. Plex running from the SSD is working fine but as soon as you start playing a file, it takes forever to start playing. Also other docker containers like Sonarr and Radarr take ages to load up their webui. I think I know what the problem is because I did some swapping of the sata cables but I still want to know what all the weird messages in my syslog are. Attached is the diagnostics file. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Zandor Smith silicon-diagnostics-20181024-0018.zip Edited October 23, 2018 by Zandor300 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Cache2 and disk3 are having issues, it could be cables, but you're also using a controller with a port multiplier and those are prone to timeout errors, replace cables, if issues persist it's the controller. Quote Link to comment
Zandor300 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 I put back my old PCIe data card and it is running fine now. This one was the one that was running slow: https://www.conrad.nl/p/renkforce-0-10-poorten-sata-iii-controllerkaart-pcie-1374266 Would you have any other options for me because the old one is only 4 data ports but when I want to add more hard drives, I need a card that has more ports. Motherboard is also full. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Any LSI with a SAS2008/2308/3008 chipset in IT mode, e.g., 9201-8i, 9211-8i, 9207-8i, 9300-8i, etc and clones, like the Dell H200/H310 and IBM M1015, these latter ones need to be crossflashed. Quote Link to comment
Zandor300 Posted November 5, 2018 Author Share Posted November 5, 2018 (edited) Okay, so we are a few days later. I got a second hand Dell H200 that was already flashed to IT mode. The server was running fine for a few days until yesterday evening. It locked up. I was able to SSH into it but after typing in the password it only showed me the Unraid version message and didn't start up a shell session. Later I tried to login through console but it only allowed me to type in the root username but never gave me the option to type in the password. I just hit the reset button on the server and everything was fine again. Of course it started parity check. Just now, I tried to open Plex again and it again was offline. This time however I got a 502 error back in the web interface. I went into the console and logged in using root. I then just did a sudo reboot because I was about to go to bed. It gave the normal "server going down" announcement but after 5 minutes it still was up. I again hit the reset button because I couldn't do anything. Now it is up again and I don't know whats wrong. Attached is a diagnostics file, except it is just after a reboot. I will try to provide a better diagnostics file when the problem occurs again. silicon-diagnostics-20181106-0051.zip Edited November 5, 2018 by Zandor300 Quote Link to comment
