zapp8rannigan Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Hi all, I recently installed a PfSense VM onto my unraid server and its been working great, I reinstalled my dockers and it seemed to be working ok for a week or so, then i tried to reinstall Nextcloud, Letsencrypt, and mariadb and for some reason that caused the CPU to spike at 100% across all cores (i5-4690k) so i removed those docker containers and it seems to of worked (at the time). I had a google and found a thread in here i tried to resurrect thinking my problem was similar to the one originally posted, however it appears to be a bit more serious: I was literally just about to start watching something on plex after adding a few torrents to deluge and moving a couple of files about in Krusader followed by running a library scan and low and behold, its spiking again, and this is without nextcloud etc running, just 7 of my usual containers. Oddly enough, it didn't completely take out docker this time, nor the PfSense VM, but it went sluggish causing plex to not work so I've since killed that (as well as duckdns, and openvpn which I'm not using currently). I caught the diagnostics when it happened but my knowledge with this stuff isn't great so I don't understand much. Can anyone help? Does it make sense to any of you guys? babs-diagnostics-20191116-2211.zip Edited November 19, 2019 by zapp8rannigan NOT SOLVED! Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Update to 6.8 6.7.2 has an issue with simultaneous reads and writes being very slow. 1 Quote Link to comment
zapp8rannigan Posted November 17, 2019 Author Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) Just tried the update OS thing under tools but its saying I am already up to date... can I do it manually without losing all my settings? or do you mean grab the RC6?

zapp8rannigan Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) Everything has been working great, but I was just moving some files in Krusader tonight and it hit 100% CPU again.. is this another bug? OK now I'm worried.....I just noticed my PfSense VM has disappeared from the vm menu on unraid...its still running though...... I'm confused?? bit worried to restart in case it disappears completely Edited November 19, 2019 by zapp8rannigan Quote Link to comment

RC7 will have a fix. The solution for some seems to be to create a 'dummy" VM and set the vdisk to 'none.' Don't install anything. Just the VM defined and, obviously, not started is enough to make the others show up. Quote Link to comment

I'm worried I messed up already, in a slight panic i went to the vm manager under settings and noticed the VirtIO driver ISO had a link to download again so i clicked that, will that have botched something? Edit - That dummy fix worked (thanks) so I guess I'm good! just weird about the cpu overload thing happening again (though on a a file move this time, I tried MC and Krusader) hopefully that will be fixed in RC7..

Hi Squid sorry to bother you again, was this definitely fixed in 6.8? I'm still getting issues when moving files around either through Krusader or MC. being on 6.8 seemed to stop the PfSense VM crashing as well until just and all i did was start a library scan in Booksonic...so now thats unstable as well babs-diagnostics-20191120-2155.zip Edited November 20, 2019 by zapp8rannigan bad grammer Quote Link to comment
