gabeo Posted February 26, 2015 Share #1 Posted February 26, 2015 Xpenoboot, nanoboot, DSM 5.0, DSM 5.1...same results. Something is causing my machine to become unresponsive after a few days. Everything works PERFECTLY until then. Disks will hibernate, and everything. But after a few days, it stops responding. No SSH, no Telnet, no web interface. It will ONLY respond to pings. That's it. I even have a keyboard and monitor connected, and i can't even log into the console. It will let me type in the username, but when I press ENTER, it drops to the next line and never does anything. Sometimes, It won't even let me type the whole user name. I will type one letter and it will freeze. The only thing I can do is hard power cycle the machine. Not a peep from the logs, that I can see. Only a "disk station experienced an improper shutdown" after it's restored. What is going on here??? Any ideas?? Intel Core 2 Quad with 2GB of RAM.

jagwaugh Posted February 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted February 26, 2015 Your machine isn't exactly "hairy chested", neither is mine. Mine will do what you describe if I run a few Virtual machines, or do somethingelse that will fill up the system drive (md0). Try the command "df" in a terminal session, watch the % used on /dev/md0 - if this keeps going up and up over the course of a few days then something is filling up the system disk. What apps have you got installed? Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabeo Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share #3 Posted February 26, 2015 That's a good observation. md0 is a system partition that is spread across all the disks right? I haven't noticed that, or looked for that myself. I have nothing installed other than what is included in the basic installation. I don't do anything with this thing other than store my files on 2 volumes. I have a backup job that runs a few times a week to keep a backup of volume1, on volume2. I will do the following to watch this: du -sh * / periodically, to see what is getting bigger. then I'll go into that directory and do the same thing. weird.

gabeo Posted February 27, 2015 Author Share #4 Posted February 27, 2015 So this morning I checked and the system partition usage had not changed. but by 10:30 am it was hung again. However, I was able to SSH into it, but i couldn't get it to reboot from the command line. I couldn't get any commands to run except basic stuff. I had to resort to the following: # echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/sysrq # echo b > /proc/sysrq-trigger This essentially tells the kernel to do a power reset. Same as pressing the reset button. I could have done this by hand but I'm not at home so I needed to do it remotely. This is utterly ridiculous. I can't believe I'm having this issue. I'm at the verge of abandoning DSM and just installing something else. There is simply no reason for this. I'm so frustrated because I chose this because of its features and because it's Linux based. It should be rock solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
