SMART Causes Reboot Issue on Fresh OMV 3 Installation

In order to take advantage of Gigabit speeds, I have decided to replace my RPi-based OMV server with an actual computer. I installed the 64 bit version of OMV 3.0.58 which I then upgraded to 3.0.59 via the "Update Management" tab. Everything is working except for "SMART." Whenever I try to load the "Devices" list, I get a "Communication failure" error. When I log out of the web UI and back in, the drive appears. For whatever reason though, whenever I try to shut down or restart the server after doing this, the machine hangs and I have to crash and start it up.

What is the matter? Does anyone have any advice on what to do?

Any time you don't shut down properly, folder2ram can't sync the files in ram back to the drive. So, yes you would lose that data. If you know you are going to have to reboot or reset, you can always try folder2ram -syncall before doing that.

I am no longer running on an RPi nor am I hosting the server on an SSD so I no longer use the folder2ram plugin. Do you have any idea what the problem is? Or is it just a bug in the latest OMV release that will be fixed in a future update?

It is probably either a hardware instability and/or incompatibility. You didn't post what your hardware is.

The server is a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q190. The drive is a USB 3 external hard drive. It is the same USB hard drive that I used on my RPi.

Looks like that system is 2+ years old. Might also have heat issues from being in such a slim case (heat saving features might only work under Windows). It might also have htpc features that have Windows only features. I would run memtest on it. If it has a bios upgrade, I would upgrade that too. I would also disable any unused feature in the bios that you can.

I do not see any BIOS upgrades listed on the Lenovo website. I can run memtest, but I am not sure what it would do or how it would solve my problem. I went through the BIOS prior to setting the system up and disabled everything that was not essential, so that is done.

As for the temperature issue, I am using the OMV sensors plugin to monitor that. Here are several graphs from the server's first 24 hours in service. I wanted to use the CPU fan speed and system fan speed graphs as well, but for whatever reason, they are not working. All I get when I activate them is the "sad bar graph" icon.

I tried running memtest in the terminal. No luck. Tried apt-get install memtest. No luck. So how do I run it?

Yes, I do have a USB 2 port that I can try. As soon as I get the opportunity, I will do so. Prior to setting this machine up as an OMV server, I used it as my Linux machine, but I no longer need to do so because I now have a computer that can run a faster Linux VM than that machine could run Linux when installed on its hard drive.

I do not know if it was clear in my first post, but the hanging on shutdown and reboot only happens once I open the SMART tab that is supposed to list all of the disks. If I do not touch it, I do not run into any problems.

It is also worth noting that some of my system logs are not working. For instance, when I try to open the "SMB/CIFS - Audit" log, I get an error message.

Failed to execute command 'export PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin; export LANG=C; export SYSTEMD_COLORS=0; journalctl --quiet --no-pager --priority='notice' SYSLOG_FACILITY=23 SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER='smbd_audit' --output=short 1>/tmp/logfileuSkrb7 2>&1' with exit code '1':

Here is the stack trace that I see when I click "Show details":

@votdev - Do you have any ideas on what is going on here? Not just in regards to SMART, but also with some of the system logs not working?

Is it normal for the SMB audit log to be empty though? As for the SMART issues that I am having, any word on how to handle those?
