I don't get that comment about the iPad. When i say tinker i mean that i like solving problems and figuring out why stuff doesn't work the way it should.

Oh, and i forgot to mentioned that i like to fiddle and tinker alot. I kinda get unhappy when all is running solid ;)

I like Supermicro. I have been running X8 series and now X9 series (SCM-F) with TrueNAS and never any issues. SM is just rock solid. It is not clear to me if you are going to do a fresh install with Scale or just remain with Core and swap out the hardware because for FreeBSD, SM is said to be...

Same here. Who knows, maybe iX will change their minds and do a 14-based version of Core. Actually, i am running my Plex instance in a 13.3 jail and i have no issue with it whatsoever. Nextcloud is still on 13.2 though and not moving over as it is a way more complex install than Plex.

I also run a Plex jail. I know you can do both Plex and Nextcloud on Scale. I just spent a bunch of time learning the ins and outs of FreeBSD and it took me quite some time to move over from the plugins in Core to manual installs. Now that i've done this and all running the way i like it, i am...

I am sticking with TrueNAS Core for as long as possible. It took me a long time to get knowledgeable on FreeBSD and run Nextcloud which i use for my business which runs great and extremely stable as it is a much more mature and stable environment. For now it would be too time consuming to start...

as mentioned, IP LAN should be dedicated and set to DHCP. Never understand why you would want to set static in a device. I always do that in the router.

Surprisingly, this is almost identical to my TrueNAS Core setup with the difference that i have an E3-1230 in it with 32GB ECC RAM and i run both Plex and Nextcloud on it. TDP for the E3-1225v2 is 77W where the i3 has 65W so don't expect a huge power saving from the downgrade. I also would...

Have you done an full IPMI reset already?

I have an Intertech 2404S for my TrueNAS server. Main reason is i wanted 4 hot swap slots for storage HDD's and 2 internal SSD's for the OS but i also had a limitation in depth so a regular 1U or 2U server enclosure just wasn't possible. I am very happy with it.

So pfSense flawlessly upgraded to plus 23.01 and booted once again perfect. I am almost there. Just need to load the config of my main router but for that, i need it to be connected directly to the modem, otherwise i will create a conflict with my existing router LAN IP's. May take some time to...

The D-1587 appears to be only supporting 128Gb so i believe you will find that is the limitation.

i run pfSense on a supermicro X9SCL+-F with an E3-1220 and 16Gb RAM combined with a Cisco SG350 POE+ switch powering 3 Cisco WAP571 AP's and one WAP571E outside. All the stuff i bought 2nd hand and i am superhappy with the setup. I have an additional VLAN configured for guest access with...

Well, your tip was golden. Switch on UEFI, secure boot off and did a new UFS UEFI-mode install with GPT and it booted straight away. All working well, i350 fully recognized and working as it should. I only did an original config using the wizard. Speeds are as expected around 900mbps down and...

I will have a go at it tomorrow. I will change the boot options as per your recommendations and perform yet another fresh pfsense install.

I haven't had time to dig into it yet. First thing i am going to do is to remove the riser and the i350-T4 and see if it boots. Another thing i am planning to do is install OPNsense just to see if that boots. Not planning to switch over in any case as tried both already and like pfSense better...

Well, installed Win11 before that flawless. the pfSense installer on a USB stick boots perfectly fine. I just need to figure out why the installation itself doesn't boot. I do see the SSD in my boot menu. I haven't exhausted all options but still, this is quite odd as i have installed pfSense on...

Found an article on reddit where there is a specific installation mode in pfSense: ZFS/stripping/GPT+Lenovo fix. Did that too and set boot to CSM/Legacy only, now the error is gone but after a couple of cursor blinks in the top/left corner, the cursor vanishes and nothing else happens. Very odd...

Did that, wiped all partitions, formatted the NVme to FAT32, reinstalled pfSense but it doesn't want to boot. I get error 1962, no operating system installed.

I have the opposite issue. I had Windows 11 installed and now i want to repurpose it for pfSense and i can go through the complete installation successfully but it will not boot pfsense. Instead, i still get a windows screen stating my PC needs to be repaired despite the fact that i wiped the...
