jowi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Yeah, but my ssd is NOT a cache drive... it is NOT configured as cache, i don't need caching. Even though it shows up as 'cache' in unraid's list of storage (which is very annoying). Also not using mover. Way to obfuscated for me. So, i can not create a 'cache only' share since... there is no cache. If i add a share from unraid itself 'cache only' it is not getting created. Syslog shows 'cannot create directory, no medium found'... If i manuall create the share in /mnt/users it does show up in the unraid shares, but it is created on a random fixed disk. If i then change it to 'cache only', by magic, it is gone... Edited September 12, 2020 by jowi Quote Link to comment

I did setup one on a WIN10 machine a while back when I was playing the syslog server and it was not that difficult. Google is your friend in this case... Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 You mean set up a syslog CLIENT then on e.g. win10? Unraid does the serving part...? Quote Link to comment

Even though it shows up as 'cache' in unraid's list of storage (which is very annoying) The name 'cache' is historical from its original purpose - now-a-days it can simply be an application drive/pool. Whether anything is cached is controlled at the individual share level. The Unraid 6.9.0 release brings with it the option to call a pool anything you like. Quote Link to comment

I believe in this case, your nomenclature is not really correct. If you think about from one particular viewpoint, Your Unraid server is generating and sending a file to the PC for storage. Thus, the Unraid server should be considered the client machine and the PC is the server. By the way, there are many uses for syslog servers on regular PC's in monitoring the syslogs from devices like routers, switches, etc so they are really quite a few of them available.

Have you tried? Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Yes, read back a few posts. If i add a cache only user share from unraid gui, it fails, if i create it manually in /mnt/user then it shows up in shares, but if i change that to cache only, it gets removed again.

You need to post your diagnostics then, ideally after doing all of the above Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yes, I think diagnostics might at least clear up some things that aren't being communicated well. Quote Link to comment
jowi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Had to start diagnostics twice... also weird. Syslog has something to say about that as well. unraid-diagnostics-20200912-1929.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Use cache has been disabled. My 6.8.3 system doesn't have a cache drive, and the 6.9 system works differently, but it's either going to be under Settings - Global Share Settings, or Settings - Disk Settings, or Main, Cache, click on cache.

jowi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yes, but i do NOT want to use the cache drive as a cache drive (with the mover etc), for me it's just an SSD. It contains dockers, apps, vm's, my nextcloud repository etc. When stuff gets downloaded, i've written my own scripts that downloads everything on the ssd first, repairs it, and when it's done, it moves it to the right place on the array. I don't need and i don't want unraid's mover/cache combi. Quote Link to comment

That's all dependent upon whether the shares are all set to use the cache or not. The usual method of using unRaid and a cache drive is to enable the cache drive, and then disable the shares from using it. If nothing else, it's far far less confusing for everyone (you as why you can't create a cache only share), and us when looking at diagnostics and seeing that /mnt/user exists, but /mnt/user0 doesn't.

jowi Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Ok, but if i enable cache drive, that silly /mnt/user0 shows up... i don't want that. It is confusing. Quote Link to comment

jowi Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 ... i know, not a sexy issue, but it happened again. This time it crashed while i was reconnecting to the Roon docker. The Roonserver sometimes loses it's library for some reason, and you have to re-select the rooncore in the remote app, and rebuild the libraries. After adding 2 folders, roon stopped working, and took the array with it. Now, this time i recalled that one of the previous times the array crashed, it was also during issues with Roon, so my conclusion is that the roon docker f*cks things up big time and takes the array down with it... unraid can not be reached, not even over IPMI. IPMI only shows powered up state, but nothing works. No gui, no shares, no dockers, no plugins, just dead. Which to me is surprising, wasn't that the whole reason why we want containerized apps? So they did not influence the host at all? Quote Link to comment

Marshalleq Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 I have Roon and it’s not crashing. The other server without Roon is crashing on occasion (not saying it’s same issue but just to say Roon shouldn’t be). Roon does push a disk while it’s scanning and so on so possibly something more down the i/o path given your comments about disks. Could even be sata cable.

jowi Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 If it was a cable there should be more vague issues, also SMART would show errors. The disk roon uses is used very often in daily use and does not show any issues whatsoever besides roon crashing every now and then. Quote Link to comment
interwebtech Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Perhaps not useful to fixing your Roon docker issue but I was having similar problems where Roon server (docker) would become unresponsive. Reboot of unRaid didn't help. Restarting the docker would result in the Docker service hanging (at least the admin in Chrome did). I gave up on it and bought an inexpensive NUC with which to run Roon ROCK and have had zero problems since. Quote Link to comment

It did it's thing and said I needed to reboot. I clicked reboot and now nothing. I can no longer access the server from //tower.
