truenas scale

TLDR: This SMR drive wont sleep even with no host writes for days. Why? This one drive refuses to enter standby/spindown after the configured idle period, even when host-side tracing shows no meaningful I/O keeping it awake. Two other WD40EFAX drives in the same ZFS mirror do enter standby...

Hi, I have a small issue: I am running TrueNAS Scale at home. When I move files around when I am at home, it does it quickly. When I remote into the server via Tailscale and move files on the server from folder to folder it is very slow. I am not transferring files over the network; I am...

Hello, I'm currently trying to build a homelab server. It will rely on a Proxmox Host, which will host at least 2 VM's, one for storage in a Truenas Scale and a couple of other smaller VM's which won't always be running. As hardware I have a Asrock X470D4U with a Ryzen 5700X and 2x16 GB DDR4...

Hey all, I wanted to know if anyone else is having issues connecting their VMs to the internet as soon as they set a static IP on the VM. I haven't been able to find a single thread that had the same issue as mine and I have been banging my head against the wall for weeks now, trying to solve...

Hello, I'm planning to build a compact NAS, using either a Node 304 or a Jonsbo-style case. I need it to accommodate four 20TB SATA drives and to have 10Gb network connectivity, either integrated into the motherboard or via a PCIe card. The OS will be TrueNAS, and the goal is to share data...

I have LSI 9400-i16 on TrueNAS Scale 24.10.2 and in general it runs fine, disks and everything works. I recently discovered that log file is full of errors : mpt3sas_cm0: log_info(0x300301e1): originator(IOP), code(0x03), sub_code(0x01e1) # egrep "sub_code\(0x01e1\)" kern.log | wc -l 222293...

I've recently had the luck of getting a Storwize with 24 of these guys for free. While I was on CORE I couldn't even get them to show up. Now they get a designator (/dev/sdXYZ) but they seem to show up as size: 0 on TrueNAS. Now my first though was, must be a 520 sector size but it refuses to...

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some input or fresh ideas on storage configurations for the AsRock X300. This compact little setup already has a 4650 APU, 16 GB DDR4 3200, and will serve as a remote TrueNAS server at my family’s house. Its compact size and low power draw were the main reasons for...

Hi there! I get the following server from a collegue: To install TrueNAS on it I have to get a compatible HBA to get working it with OpenZFS / ZFS. I found this list of good HBAs to get working with TrueNAS: Top Picks for TrueNAS and FreeNAS HBAs (Host Bus Adapters) Therefore I thought about...

Hey there, I'm pretty much copy-pasting my post from the TrueNAS forums that unfortunately didn't get that much traction. I'm hoping some of you have experience with this sort of thing. I’m on TrueNAS SCALE 24.04.2. Despite the warnings I decided to go for 5x8 TB Exos 7E8 drives...

I was wondering if I can get some help with my TrueNAS setup. I have 256GB memory 20TB x 12 SATA (Raid Z2) via 9300-8e (Supermicro 826BE1C-R609JBOD) 7.68TB x 2 NVMe (Metadata - Mirror) 375GB x 2 Optane (SLOG - Mirror) 1.6TB x 2 NVMe (L2ARC - Stripe) Compression LZ4 ZFS Deduplication On...

I'm looking at getting the SuperChassis 826BE1C-R609JBOD and I'm struggling to figure out what LSI card to get for it. This will be going into an ROMED8-2T (PCIe 4.0 x16) running TrueNAS SCALE. If I get an 8 port HBA does that mean only 8 drives would be seen, and I would need a 2nd card for...

Forgive my ignorance, I am new to this space. I just picked up a Supermicro x9drh-7f Dual Xeon E5-2687w v2 And 128gb ddr3L-12800 ecc reg. I'm trying to install Trunas Scale, and I'm getting fatal errors all over the place during the install process. To the point where, when I finally get to...

Greetings all. I finally got the go ahead to turn one of our basement closets into my dream home lab. It's got plenty of space for a full-size 42U rack and we just installed a dedicated mini-split for climate control in that closet. I'm super exited about starting the build, but having anxiety...

Hi, so I am planning to upgrade my homelab to 10GBe and want to move my VM storage from my ESXi host to my TrueNAS Scale host. I am planning to make a new pool comprised of older Enterprise Sata SSDs, since I want the VMs to be as responsive as possible and saturate the 10G link. I will also...

My current setup is TrueNAS Scale 22.12.3.3 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz Gigabyte GA-B250M-DS3H Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard Crucial CT8G4DFS824A 8 GB (1 x 8 GB) DDR4-2400 CL17 Memory And for storage, I have 2 8tb Iron Wolf Pro and 2 6tb Iron Wolf Pro drives in a raidz. I know this...

Learning how Truenas scale can be used in a HA fasion and wanted to see the thoughts of others. My plan is to run 1 storage device and then have two head servers that can utilize the same storage device. This is my plan: In my mind it should work base on this diagram from truenas but wanted to...

Hi, I am building a NAS server that will run TrueNAS Scale. I have 3x Ironwolf 8 TB HDD that will be set in RAID Z1 with some additional caching SSDs. And now the question. I need a motherboard for 9100F that will have 6xSATA ports, 2xM.2, support for ECC RAM (I will have 32Gb at the beginning)...
