UTM Randomly Restarting - postgres error in system logs

Hello.

A machine I help a family member with using the home license restarted Sunday, and then again tonight, which is very odd - I've found UTM rock stable mostly.  I checked the logs just before the most recent restart, and saw this - anyone know what it means?  Memory corruption?  HDD corruption?

  • Hello,

     

    Here we have a similar Problem also with this "chunk" message.

  • Thanks Jason.  I read the thread - seems like they concluded power issue.  That seems sorta odd in this situation, as its a home environment, with no change in power setup.  It crashed again today; I don't know enough about the logs to understand what's going on, but I figure seeing this "�������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������" in the log files is bad news.  I'll try and get on site and check the power out.

  • You might try re-initializing the PostgreSQL data bases (deletes Reporting history, but doesn't touch the logs):

    /etc/init.d/postgresql92 rebuild

    Cheers - Bob

  • Bob - thanks for the suggestion.

    I tried re-initializing PostgreSQL - I'm still getting restarts.  

    I had my family member unplug the box from the UPS and plug it right into the wall - still getting restarts (so much for my theory it was the UPS).  I guess it's still possible it could be a faulty circuit, but the chances seem really low).

    I want to get there and inspect myself, and I plan on doing a good bit of cleaning in the case (to see if its hardware related), and possibly reloading UTM from disc and then restoring the config (in case its software related), but until I do that, any ideas?

    Any other logs?  On the system logs, the only consistent thing I see before the issue is "/usr/sbin/cron[XXXXX]:  (root) CMD (    /usr/local/bin/reporter/system-reporter.pl)".  Sometimes its followed by what looks like corruption, other times not.  The system log always starts again 2 mins later with the normal startup stuff.

    I am miffed as I have 4 UTMs running on the same software version (latest), all on similar hardware and configuration...only this one is giving me trouble.
