After migrating to running Roon on a QNAP from a Windows PC, I have been experiencing a lot of issues. As soon as I restore from backup the system constantly crashes. I’ve tried restoring from the 3 different backups I have but none of them seem to be corrupted. Here is a small part of the logs.
If I do a fresh install of Roon Server everything works fine. The odd thing is that Roon Server was working fine on the QNAP for about a week now. I havent made any sw or hw changes to my system. Any help would be appreciated. I would hate to lose all these years of data.
Things keep just getting weirder. The RoonAppliance process has my QNAP CPU pegged at 95-100% utilization. I am not even using Roon right now. In fact, I disconnected from the core on the QNAP and went back to the one on my Windows PC. Stopping and restarting RoonServer does not help. Not sure if its related but I see free memory almost completely used up. I have 20gb of RAM.
Thank you to everyone that replied. I think I have it figured out. I went back to my Windows Roon machine and restored from a backup a few weeks old. Unfortunately, after a successful restore, Roon on this machine also became unstable as it was trying to scan my library and add new music I have added since the last backup. Over the past week I have added over 10 new albums so I had to remove them all from the music library folder and add each album back one at a time to see if my system became unstable. Of course, it was the last album I added that was the problem. Once I removed it, Roon worked again on the Windows machine. I then made a backup and restored it in Roon running on the QNAP. So far, everything is working again though the CPU usage is still 100%! Looking at the logs in the Roonserver folder it seems that a full analysis is being done to my library again. I am not sure why this is required since I restored from a backup. I will let it run for a while to see if it settles down.
I’m pretty sure it’s because of that.
Roon doesn’t know about your reasons for restoring a backup. The used backup could have been ages old. So analyzing your library to look what’s there and how it matches to the contents of the database is a must do after restoring a backup.
Do you still have this media? Would you be willing to share it with us via a shared Dropbox link in a PM so that I can pass it along to the team so they can take a look?
