Hi all. I did a fresh install of 11.3 last night to try and fix another problem (unsuccessfully), and now I've run into another problem while trying to install plex server.
I went to Plugins, left the "Browse a Collection" drop-down at iXsystems, selected Plex Media Server (Version: 1.18.2.2058, not the beta), clicked Install. I gave the jail a name (plex-jail), left everything else on default, and clicked Save. The install dialog window popped up, and after waiting about a minute I decided to go and get a coffee while it installed.
When I came back a few minutes later, my FreeNAS server had rebooted without my input (causing a file transfer to the machine which was ongoing to fail). When I logged back into FreeNAS, I went into Jails and the plex-jail install was listed as "CORRUPT" for the State column. I tried to delete it by selecting it and hitting delete, but I got the following error dialog:
2 questions: How can I determine what caused the install to fail and the FreeNAS to reboot (there doesn't seem to be any sort of installation log in the Jails section of the FreeNAS interface) and how can I remove the CORRUPT plex install? Note: I tried the same procedure as the first time for the additional "plex-jail-test" install while present at the machine (no coffee break), and the same thing happened.
System configuration:
FreeNAS 11.3-RELEASE on XCP-ng 8.0.
Dell R730 PowerEdge Server
CPU: 2 x Intel E5-4655 v3, 8 cores allocated to FreeNAS
RAM: 64GB total, 18GB allocated to FreeNAS
Thanks.
edit: Just tried to install the syncthing plugin and get the same behaviour (install causes reboot/crash, can't delete due to the missing configuration error).
