Pretty sure it isn't. Cpu temp never goes over 40 celcius, disks not over 35 and all fans look good both in monitoring soft as physical. Gear inside 'feels' ok ( can touch hba and expander even when running a while. Only psu is hot. Very hot. As in 'cannot keep hand behind exhaust' hot.OK, dumb question. This is not a thermal issue, is it? Perhaps, a mis-seated CPU heatsink/fan? Researching this problem with this board, it seems that most people with this problem had one of the following problems:
- CPU power connector not attached correctly
- Thermal issue
- Memory kit was not fully compatible
- some kind of BIOS error that was cleared when the CMOS was cleared
@jgreco ah yes.. indeed. It's a 'poormans' rackmount indd :) gonna swap psu later today ( if my 2 year old allows it :p
Concerning the 16gb: nope. My disks are divided in smaller pools and the system does not even break a sweat when rsyncing a tb from one to another. That makes the issue strange. Also: if lack of memory was the issue, you would see all kinds of information, warnings, kernel panics and performance issues ( and i'm pretty familiar with those having ran freenas in a stable condition on less then recommended hardware for years. It just requires some 'tweaks' and you have to take the loss in performance that comes with it). Swap is 0 and performance is perfect right up to the moment it dies.Probably because psu is turning itself off because of too hot. It's one of the only things that would explain an unexpected shutdown without the debug kernel giving me ANY info ( sometimes last post in log is a freenas script querying a pools health to update the interface, other times it is smart being ran on disk not related to the mentioned pool).
From software point of view, it looks like someone yanking out the power cable..
