I've got a standard build, which I've been using without any stability issues with the 8.3.1. Then, I've done two things - upgraded to the latest FreeNAS (9.1.0 and later to 9.1.1) and started playing around with plugins and jails. I've not yet upgraded my pools to the latest versions.
I totally love the idea and went on and set up couchpotato, sickbeard, sabnzbd and few others that I did not configure yet, all from the official repository.
From there, I've started having whole system lockups - it happens mainly when interacting with couchpotato, the jail becomes unresponsive, soon taking the rest of the system with it. When the lockup happens, no system messages are output on the screens and I cannot log in via SSH, although the UI works. The only message I was able to catch a glimpse of was a UPS error right before the lockup, possibly indicating that the USB subsystem has crashed? (just guessing, in deep waters here).
I'm was using on-board Realtek NIC, so I've added Intel-based additional NIC and tried again - will wait to see if the lock-up happens again.
Lastly, after a clean reboot, sabnzb and sickbeard do not start for around 10 minutes (and I do not know if they would start on their own as I never resisted to try out the "on" button.
So, back to the main question - could a jail cause whole system instability? I find it too much of a coincidence that my machine's hardware would start failing at the same time as I've started using jails.
My hardware config:
Motherboard:
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD5-B3
RAM:
12GB of 1600 of Corsair RAM (2x2GB and 2x4GB
CPU:
Intel Core i5 2300 2.8GHz Socket 1155
PSU:
Coolermaster Silent Pro 1000W Modular PSU
UPS:
APC – BACK UPS ES 700G
