Hi everyone, I’m experiencing an intermittent issue with my TrueNAS CORE server (TrueNAS-13.0-U6.1) where it becomes inaccessible over the network every 1-2 weeks. (Happend 5-6 times now, Updates didn’t solve the issue.) Neither the web login nor SMB shares are reachable during these times. Only a …

Have you set a static IP or are you trusting your router’s DHCP?

In my FritzBox there is an option you can set to make sure the device always receives the same IP. I’ve set this option for my TrueNAS.

Then the next possible culprit is the RAM. Run https://www.memtest.org/ and if it does not throws any errors, I would suggest adding another 8GB… which apparently you cannot do. Eh, you have quite an elderly CPU there. What are you using it for?

Thanks a lot for the explaination. I’m actually just running an SMB server hosting some backups and video files. TimeMachine from a MacOS computer sometimes runs a backup and sometimes I access the multimedia via SMB using Kodi. The only reason I switched from a Raspi with 4GB to my small TrueNAS …

macOS has a history of pain with SMB. That might be a path worth investigating. I don’t think it’s a NIC issue though.
