SOLVED Computer freezes up

I am on version 5.0.6. I haven't changed a thing in over a year, apart from changing up two drives a few months ago. Now for the fourrh time in a little over a week everything freezes up. It all seems random. This is what the screen looks like

 

At this point the only thing I can do is press reset!

 

Can anyone shed some light on this for me..

I don't see anything abnormal in the logs... actually I can't see a log dated with the actual crash time

Check file system on all disks.

Disk all are working properly. Parity check came out with no errors.

 

What should I be looking for in the File System ?

You'd be looking for file system corruption, since the crash seems to be caused by reiserfs, this as nothing to do with disk health and/or parity.

You should stop the array and restart it in Maintenance mode.    Having done that for each disk from a console/telenet session run a command of the form:

reiserfsck --check /dev/mdX

where X corresponds to the disk to be checked.    Note that this command can take a long time to run (hours) so if using a telnet session to run the command you need to keep it open for the duration.

 

If any errors are found then reiserfsck normally suggest the extra parameters that need to be used on a rerun to fix the detected corruption, but it might be a good idea to check back here first as running the wrong command can lead to data loss.

Thank you both. I will be doing that now and reporting back what ever I get

Quick question... I just had to RESET again... Now the system is doing a parity check. Can I stop the partiy check.. Put the parity offline and then do the reiserfsck check ?

 

You can cancel the parity check, no need to put the parity offline, whatever that means, just start in maintenance mode and check filesystem on all disks.

.. lol... I meant Array offline .... Thanks

.. lol... I meant Array offline .... Thanks

you want the array to be online in Maintenance mode.  You can then run the file system check against the /dev/mdX devices (where X corresponds to the disk number in the unRAID GUI).  This will ensure that parity remains valid while doing the check (and any subsequent repair).

Ok, got the following message from reiserfsck....

You need to run reiserfsck with --rebuild-tree for that disk.

That is the screen message I got from disk 2 .

Thanks... And sorry from the post mixup ... I did something on the iphone and then on the computer and it got mixed up

You need to run reiserfsck with --rebuild-tree for that disk.

 

I guessing this is done in Maintenance mode?

Yes, start in maintenance mode and run:

 

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/md2

Yes, start in maintenance mode and run:

 

reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/md2

 

Thanks, that did the job. I love the quick replies on this forum.
