A few weeks ago I setup HTTPS on my server and its working great. Today, as I was working on the server, suddenly the screen displayed 500 NGIX error. My console was still working so I rebooted the server and after it cam up, was able to access just fine through the HTTPS login I've been using. I've read through the various 500 NGIX errors on the board but not found anything that feels similar. Is there a set of diagnostic steps I should go through? I can access my server just fine through Connect.MyUnRaid.net.

Thanks, that really clears it up for me. Who could I make recommendations to for improving Unraid Connect? I'd recommend the following: 1. Add a description of the process and how it works (as you did). 2. Clarify the button to Generate & Download Backup. As Unraid has become more and more user friendly (and its amazing how much improvement there has been since I started back in 2017), there are more and more 'near nubes' on unraid now. So expanding documentation and user information would get a lot of mileage!

Thanks for the reply ChatNior - I've seen that and clicked "Generate Backup" before, but it didn't appear to do anything. I thought it was generating a backup from my server to Unraid Connect. Now I see that it does that, THEN downloads the zip file. Just takes a while. Perhaps a better button label would be "Generate Backup & Download"...

I configured Unraid connect to backup my flash. I see it in the dashboard correctly, but don't see where I can restore it to a new USB drive should the previous USB fail. I've not been able to find any detailed instructions. I'm sure it out there somewhere, just can't find it. Thanks in advance!

I had a backup on another USB (manual copy) so I just went ahead and upgraded to 6.12.6 and then upgraded to the latest CA Backup Appdata. Everything appears to be working fine - I don't get the error anymore?? The error disappeared after the upgrade, so assume it was a bug somewhere. Backups completed on schedule. Upgrade to 6.12.6 had a couple plugins that I had to update, but everything went smoothly. Thanks!

Unraid 6.11.5 (I've not upgraded to 6.12 yet...and thus not upgraded to new CA Appdata) Opened the dashboard and had this message: " Your flash drive is corrupted or offline." Appears my USB has failed (*sigh*) I have CA Appdata installed (Since v2.5 came out), but now that the USB has crashed, of course, I don't see any USB related apps running. i.e. the Dashboard page displays junk and nothing is working. Unraid still running, apps (i.e. plex) still running). However, anything related to the USB drive does not run. Diagnostics attached. I have not yet rebooted. If I go to Settings>CA Backup Appdata v2.5, I get a junk page (see attached screenshot). Not sure what to do at this point. I have a backup, but don't know how to restore!

Assuming its a hardware problem, we'd want to try to isolate where that's coming from. Safe mode is interesting. If I run in safe mode, will I be able to run apps? I've seen a post that lots of things don't work, but not been able to find a definitive answer as to what does and does not work in safe mode. https://forums.unraid.net/topic/142975-safe-mode-no-local-gui-no-remote-gui-no-remote-ssh/ That said, are there any hardware diagnostics that can be recommended? i.e. run a memory check (although I think that would show up in diags?), HBA controller check? I do have a couple drives that had displayed errors (I'm currently replacing them over time as they fully fail). Could the drives in partial fail state cause the server to crash? (see attached SMART reports). hunternas-smart-20230906-1100.zip hunternas-smart-20230906-1100.zip

Crashed again...attached is the appended syslog. Thanks in advance! I would like to learn how to decipher these logs. Where's a good place to start? syslog

Thanks, set that up, will repost when/if it happens again. I'm mirroring the log to Flash. Should I limit the log size and rotate? i have a 64 gb Flash and it has 58gb free...

I'm having some problems with my server randomly locking up. I've not been able to identify any specific actions or circumstances as a cause and it appears to be random. I can go 30 days with no crash, or a few days. Diagnostics attached. Appreciate any insight folks might have. The only thing that's been happening (other than regularly applying updates) is I've been replacing older drives. I have a couple with SMART errors. Just replace one drive this week. Have 2 more to go... Is there a knowledgebase article somewhere which describes how to interpret the diagnostics? I'd love to learn how... Thanks in advance! hunternas-diagnostics-20230830-1507.zip

"Slow/Fast Drives" - That's probably what's happening. I'm in the process of replacing slow 5900 RPM drives with 7200 more modern drives. I had turned the mover off during the rebuild so there would not be an issue with writing while rebuilding. Dockers were all turned off as well... Its now running 185mb/s, so not sure why so slow for the first 15min, but appears to be working fine now. Thanks!

Update. 8 Hours later the rebuild is up to 87mb/s, so seems better. Could the slow build time indicate a problem with the drive? Based on the latest discussions around preclear, I didn't do it on these two drive replacements. Should I have?

Version 6.11.5 2022-11-20 LSI 9207-8i SAS Controller 15 drives (balance of SATA ports off motherboard) Replaced a 2 TB functioning (but error indicated) drive with 10 TB drive (Seagate ST10000DM0004 7200RPM 6gb/s) running on the LSI. Rebuild started running at 28-30mb/s, now running about 50mb/s. Seems slow. Just ran a previous replaced drive (2 TB w/ 10TB HGST 7200) and rebuild took about 24 hours with speeds in the 90-120mb/s+ range. Does that seem slow?

A reboot seems to have solved the problem.
