Ellis34771 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I'm running UNRAID 6.7.2. I'm getting random reboots. At least once per day. At first I thought it was the 6.8 upgrade, but I rolled it back to 6.7.2. How do I troubleshoot the cause of this? It seems the log files start over after a reboot, so I can't see what was happening prior to the reboot. This seems to happen even if the system is not being utilized. Needless to say, this is triggering endless parity checks, which can't be good for the longevity of the drives. Any ideas to point me in the right direction here?

FreeMan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Go to Settings | Network Services | Syslog Server and set "Mirror syslog to flash" to "Yes". Next reboot, you'll be able to grab the most recent syslog from your flash drive and post it to your next post in this thread. The reboots and parity checks are not good for your sanity, but so long as you've got decent airflow and they're not overheating, it's not going to significantly impact your drive's lives. Don't forget, in a Windows machine, the drive is spinning and being written/read constantly by the OS - at least Unraid lets them spin down when they're not in use. Also, it would help if you edited your post to have the title reflect the issue you're having instead of just your user names. Something like, "Random reboots" will give people an idea what they're looking at before even opening your issue. Quote Link to comment

That might be helpful. Quote Link to comment

Guy, but having a log file is sort of essential to get started. 🙂 Many thanks. Quote Link to comment
