hello everybody
Looking for some help in trouble shooting, as I do not exactly know where to start.
The situation is as follows:
My boot drive died and I replaced it. While doing so, I saw how easily the restoring process of TrueNAS is (at that point it was TrueNAS 12.0-U8 or something like that) and I thought, I'd finally try the update to the newest version 13.0-U5 which I have since replaced with the update 13.0-U6.
Everything seemed to work pretty ok, i.e. all the VMs were running as they were supposed to, and I recreated the two jails I had in order to have them on the newest release as well.
However, lately my TrueNAS is hard freezing (i.e. cut power) from time to time, it's around every 3 or 4 days now.
So first thing I thought of was the RAM (got 32GB of ECC), hence I ran memtest. It passed the test four times without any errors.
Second thought: I had changed from an USB installation to a NVMe. My mainboard has no on-board NVMe slot and I bought a cheap PCIe 3.0 x16 adapter card for a Crucial P3 SSD. So I replaced this adapter card with one from ASUS, hoping it might help. Still no change.
I made also sure that swap isn't used - so far, the 4GB of swap allocated have not been used by TrueNAS as far as reportings show (i.e. at least in the last 5 months or so)
I basically try to figure the problem out without any idea why it happens. It seems as if my TrueNAS does not log anything before the freezes happen.
So my two questions:
1. any idea on where to find log files that actually are of help or how it is possible to create logs that show what is happening and why it freezes?
2. just any idea on what the problem could be? I read in these forums that the ethernet interface might be the problem. I got an ASRock Rack C236 WSI with 2 x RJ45 GLAN by Intel i210 and Intel i219 ... but since that was working before the upgrade to TrueNAS 13.0 I'm not sure that the problem lies there.
I appreciate any help on this topic ... I've been using FreeNAS and now TrueNAS for about 8 years and I really don't want to miss my setup ;)
Thank you all and best regards, Silä
PS: let me now for anything needed and I'll gladly add it.
