Greetings,
I've had a FreeNAS Mini 2 for a couple of years now running 24x7 with few issues. This system is my main home file storage so it's critically important. It serves up AFP and SMB shares.
Recently I upgraded to 11.2, installed a qbittorrent plugin, and decided to seed a bunch of open source torrents. I have a lot of bandwidth and storage so I thought it'd be nice to use some of it for this purpose.
Running FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1.
Hardware is:
Motherboard: C2750D4I
OS disk: 16GB SATA DOM
Data Disks: 4 x WD Red 8TB
Memory: 32GB
Official 64GB ZIL and 128GB L2ARC installed.
Pool is encrypted.
Seeding generates a bit of traffic but nothing overwhelming. However, every few days the filesystem freezes, which causes the SMB shares to freeze, my Windows clients to freeze, etc. I have to hard reset the box.
I see nothing in the logs. In fact, for some reason the logs are getting overwritten on boot and I can't figure out why. This only seemed to start when I upgraded to 11.2.
This last time the system even lost its hostname for some reason. It's coming up named "freenas." I've looked all over the place to try and figure out WTF is going on but I'm at a loss here.
I think I'm going to remove the ZIL for now. It's overkill for this system. The L2ARC is getting a lot of use however. Otherwise I'm stumped as to what's causing this and what to do about it.
Would really appreciate some help with this. Thanks.
