[14:15] <five6184> Could somebody please help me troubleshoot my Raspberry Pi server randomly freezing? The logs suddenly stop, there's no error, and the only way to revive it is a hard reboot. I have attached 8 external HDDs with their own power supply + powered hub.
[14:55] <rbasak> If they're USB powered then the power lines are all shared. Disks drawing power will be able to drag down the Pi's available power.
[15:13] <five6184> the disks are externally powered and also plugged to a hub which is externally powered
[15:31] <waveform> five6184, do you have a monitor attached to the Pi? I'm wondering because if you're monitoring the logs remotely you may not see output that isn't flushed over the network before things die
[16:06] <five6184> no, unfortunately getting a monitor hooked up would be a challenge
[16:06] <five6184> so far I've been trying to read logs post-mortem and they're missing, but I think I'll try to stream them over network and hope that they survive long enough
