Hello! First time here. Been runnig TrueNas Scale for almody six months and been veey happy so far. I use a HP MicroServer Gen8, Pentium CPU, 12GB Ecc ram, SSD for OS and 4x16TB SAS in ZFS1.
I did a ”press and hold powerbutton” shutdown a couple of weeks ago, not shure if it is releated but I want to mention it. (Was a bit stressed for a massive thunderstorm came out of nowhere and I wanted to unplug the server quickly).
Maybe a week ago, I noticed qbittorrent stating ”missing files” on some torrents. A forced resume in qbittorrent fixed the problem, but mostly tempoary and it kept happening to more and more torrents. One movie was suddenly unable to play in Plex. Some archives was unable to be unrared. Two days ago I could watch any movies at all, and the GUI sign in was unaccessable. Haven’t set up SSH so had to turn of from powerbutton.
After restart the GUI worked and everything seemed to look fine, but Plex still didn’t work, and after a little while the GUI stopped working. Tried this two times and then gave up for the night, planned to continue troubleshooting next day.
Next day everything worked! GUI, resuming torrents and everything looked fine. Plex worked, even the movie that previously couldn’t be played worked. Also unraring.
But later at night, everything still worked but a few torrents started to show missing files. In the GUI everything seems to be working fine.
Don’t really have clue where to start and where to look. Any tips and ideas would be greatly appriciated.
(Qbittorrent is mainlys used for Linux distro and file syc, Plex playes movies I ripped från Blueray and DVD)
I would suggest setting up a SSH terminal since you will have to do some commands… but SCALE apparently has fixed the WebUI’s Shell: up to your preference, though I still suggest SSH.
What’s the output of zpool status? When was the last time you scrubbed? How are you connecting the drives to the motherboard?
Also, I assume you mean 128GB of RAM instead of 12.
Thank you very much your reply. Greatly approciated!
Yes of course, RaidZ1.
Read the documentation when setting it up, think I got the hang of it then, but can take another look.
Will set up SSH and share the output. In the GUI the pool status is OK, which throws me of a bit.
And I meant 12GB and not 128GB… 16GB is max in the G8…
I know RAIDZ1 isn’t that nice with 16TB drives. I’m looking into building a new system with 8x16TB and runnig RAIDZ2. (But that will hopefully be a lather concern).
Regarding ram, I understand that 12GB ram is on the low end. I use about 7,5TB and have about 35TB free in the pool.
Thanks for your answers. The problem with the old firmware was only regarding SATA disks, and I’m running SAS. But maybe it would be a good idea to upgrade the firmware anyway. Need to look into how to do it safely.
Regarding ‘HostPath Validation,’ it doesn’t ring any bells, but from what I can tell, it is regarding combining SMB shares and host storage. I only use my TrueNas for SMB sharing, so I don’t think that it is a problem for me.
I have now forced the torrents to resume and then immediately done a forced recheck. Now everyone (except two of them) is working, and no new ones are popping up as missing files. My guess is that there has been some sort of corruption due to forcefully shutting down TrueNas or with Qbittorrent because it lost its storage. Can’t work out why some files wouldn’t work at all or why the web GUI didn’t work…
Oh my god… I can´t belive I´m this stupid. The SAME DAY I starded having big problems, is the same day I had previusly setup backup of my proxmox machines to the same SMB share
I my world that wouldn´t be a problem. But I should have thought about it when the problems started.
Everything stopped working tonight again, and started to think about HostPatch Validation. My gues now is that this might be the cause. Inactivated backup, rebooted Proxmox and will see if I can get everything working again.
ZFS is the file system, and you mean RAIDZ1.
