February 25, 20197 yr Hi All, I'm still having problems with lock ups. I originally had this problem begin after migrating to 6.4 (from 6.3.5). Before that it was completely stable. Here is the previous thread if interested: I have taken the following actions: * Upgraded to 6.6.6 * Ensured the server is running on the latest BIOS * Replaced the RAM with brand new RAM * Replaced the power supply * Replaced the thermal paste on CPU * Memtest passes successfully. Please note when the problem occurs: * Server does not respond to pings * Console is not accessible The only option I have is to do a hard reset. I've run out of ideas and hoping someone can provide further assistance. I've attached the diagnostic (after a hard reset). moose-diagnostics-20190225-1349.zip
February 25, 20197 yr Community Expert My suggestion would be to upgrade to the most recent Release Candidate (6.7.0-rc5). The version has a new logging feature built-in where (one of the options) it mirrors the log to a file on the Flash Drive. You can find it by Settings >>> Syslog Server
February 26, 20197 yr Author Thanks very much for the reply Frank. I'll do that. Hopefully that might give some clues as to what is happening.
February 28, 20197 yr Author I've decided to wait until 6.7.0 stable release before upgrading. Meanwhile I've found some links indicating these sorts of lockups *can* be related to on-board sound support in Linux on some motherboards. This weekend, I'm going to disable it completely as it's not needed on my server and see what happens. Thought I'd post this here for anyone else experiencing similar issues.
April 3, 20197 yr Author OK another update. Lockups are still occurring. Actions taken thus far: * Upgrading to 6.6.7 * Ensured the server is running on the latest BIOS * Replaced the RAM with brand new RAM * Replaced the power supply * Replaced the thermal paste on CPU * Memtest passes successfully. * Turning off onboard sound * Removed TV Tuner card. When 6.7 becomes stable I will log to the flash drive as suggested by Frank. I'm really thinking this is not a hardware problem now as there's nothing left to replace except for the CPU and/or motherboard. When the problem occurs: * Server does not respond to pings * Console is not accessible So any diagnostic actions are not available at the time of the problem. I've previously attached diagnostic files taken by FCP but nothing has been identified. Two questions: 1. Is it possible that my USB stick could be contributing to the lockups, and if so how do I test it 2. How else can I isolate the problem. Is it possible that a docker and/or plugin could be the causing it? Any further ideas would be awesome! Edited April 3, 20197 yr by PeteB
April 3, 20197 yr how long is it on before it freezes? Maybe try a different network port or disable all plugins and dockers and turn them on one at a time. List "ALL" dockers and plugins you have installed, someone smarter then me can tell if that might be a problem Edited April 3, 20197 yr by squirrellydw
April 3, 20197 yr Author Hi. Thanks for the reply. There is no set period of time before it freezes. It seems to be about a 5-10 dyas, although I have had it lock up on consecutive days and occasionally more than once on the same day. I have the following dockers installed and running: * linuxserver/duckdns * linuxserver/letsencrypt * shaf/munin-server * binhex/arch-emby * linuxserver/nzbget * linuxserver/sonarr * linuxserver/radarr * binhex/arch-delugevpn I have the following dockers installed but not running: * google/cadvisor * technosoft2000/calibre-web * linuxserver/cops * aptalca/docker-dolphin * linuxserver/lazylibrarian * diginc/pi-hole * aptalca/docker-rdp-calibre I have the following plugins installed: * Community applications * Dynamix System Statistics * CA Auto Update Applications * CA Backup/Restore Appdata * CA Cleanup Appdata * Dynamix Cache Directories * Dynamix SSD TRIM * Fix Common Problems * Nerd Tools
April 3, 20197 yr Keep a “tail -f /var/log/syslog” running on the console so when it hangs you can still see the last messages and maybe some hint.
April 9, 20197 yr can you associate the frequent freezes (e.g. daily) with high network activity? do you see many errors in the dashboard for the network? i had an issue with an on-board NIC (marvell chipset) when transferring high amount of data to the unraid tower. Freezing even in 1-2 hours, after starting a transfer of files (few hundred GB). Only hard reset was possible. This was a somehow an unnoticeable problem during the previous year, when i did not transfer so many files at once. I ended up buying a separate pcie NIC card from intel and problem solved.
