MomSpaghetti Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hello I have been using lime tech's Unraid for almost 6 months, and have recently ran into a problem that I am unsure how to approach. I am currently running my server off of about 4 WD drives for the array, one 860 EVO for Cashe, and an old AMD FX-8350 processor. Recently I have acquired a Mellanox x-3 card and put it into my server, I proceeded by switching the mac address of the Mellanox x-3 card as the eth0 interface after learning that Unraid uses eth0 for everything. I am now experiencing a problem where during a parity check the server goes offline and is unreachable. This problem from what I have gathered surfaced after I installed this x-3 card, I have briefly looked over the logs and noticed a outstanding error that I am unsure exactly what is causing it. I believe that the application I installed called pulseway is the main problem, however I am unsure of the next course of action as I use pulseway to notify myself when the server goes offline. If there is anymore information needed please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks Bellow I have attached the Diagnostics for my server I hope this can help: lilith-diagnostics-20200121-0913.zip Quote Link to comment

MomSpaghetti Posted January 21, 2020 Author Share Posted January 21, 2020 Personally it seems more of a software problem however when I get home i will remove the card and use the on board Ethernet to see if any problems occur during the parity check. I also may try to remove pulseway all together and see if that changes anything aswell. Quote Link to comment
MomSpaghetti Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Okay so a little update I got home yesterday and removed my mellanox x-3 Card from my server and then plugged into the on-board Ethernet port. I then ran parity and let it do it's thing. This morning I checked and parity completed without any errors and my server never went offline. This tells me that it has something to do with my network config of the x-3 card as the only time I have a problem with this card is 12 hours into parity check. If anyone has any ideas how to help it would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 That is very strange, put the NIC back in, enable syslog mirror and do another check, then post syslog if it crashes. Quote Link to comment
MomSpaghetti Posted January 23, 2020 Author Share Posted January 23, 2020 Upon further inspection I noticed that the conectors on the x-3 card are damaged. Unfortunately I can confirm that this problem is not to do with the nic, a few hours ago my server froze up again and I was forced to reboot. I am now running the syslog server and will post the log when it crashes again. Quote Link to comment
