Unstable unraid installation (loosing vms, loosing docker, btrfs critical.. )

Featured Replies

Hi,

at first sorry for my bad english!

My plan was to build a new home server for my house. I need a stable NAS solution and some vms and docker containers so i tried unraid.

 

This ist my hardware config:

 

CPU: Athlon 240GE

Mainboard: Asus X370 Prime Pro (newest bios)

RAM: 16GB DDR4 2133Mhz

HDD: Some 4TB, 2TB IDE Drives (11TB sum)

 

After a restart my server is working without problems for a few days. Sometimes there are stopped docker containers and after a few days the unraid machine freezes. No ping, no web GUI ... nothing. After a hard reset unraid tries to check the parity. While working with the gui i see sometimes BTRFS Erros / critical / missing leaf etc.

Sometimes after a restart my Docker Containers and VMs are lost completely.

 

I didn't copy much  data until it works stable. So a reinstall ist possible.

I hope you can halb me making this great "thing" stable.

 

Thank you!

Ryzen based CPUs on Linux can lock up due to issues with c-states, make sure bios is up to date, then look for "Power Supply Idle Control" (or similar) and set it to "typical current idle" (or similar), or completely disable C-sates.

I will try.. i hope this also fixes my lost vm and docker issue.

With power supply control set correctly you can usually leave c-states enable.

after changing the bios settings i tried if this fixes my docker / kvm problems.. i reinstalled the docker containers and tried to install a debian vm. After some working with the vm i ran into the following issue again. I think after a restart there is no more docker /vm like before.

Maybe it is wrong to install the docker into appdata which uses my cache SSDs?

The diagnostics show that your cache is failing to mount which could explain both your docker and VM problems.  

  • Community Expert

Cache drive filesystem is corrupt, you need to reformat, but before that run memtest, various apps are crashing/segfaulting, very likely you have a hardware problem, like bad RAM.

OK.. thank you! I think a have a problem with my ram. It is brand new so i didn't mention that this could bei the problem.b77856a17c6e1372db2718d9100c4c91.jpg

Definitely a RAM problem :(   Anything other than 0 errors when running the tests means you have a problem.

 

Sometimes it is just a case of reseating the RAM modules.   You could also try clocking them at a lower speed?

There is one of two RAM modules faulty.. The other one runs in memtest without a problem until now. I will send it back this week. Thank you.

Can you please tell me how the reformat the cache partition?

  • Community Expert

Format button is below start array button, note that any data on the cache device will be deleted, if needed you can try using these recovery options, but btrfs is very intolerant of bad RAM, might be very corrupt.
