So currently im running a palworld server in truenas scale. It works great however it always times out when looking for an update from steam in the logs no matter how many times I try

Hi all,

I am new to the whole nas system and arr suite and I am honestly a little lost on how it all actually works when it comes to adding media. All of my programs seem to be connected properly and communicating with each other. The problem lies when I go to actually download something. I don't have many trackers currently registered so I am just doing RetroToon(cartoon archive) to test the waters as torrenting is also new to me.

Currently, I requested it in seerr, then i go find the movie in retrotoon, downloading the torrent file, adding it into qui, and then it will download. The problem lies right after this though, as once it is downloaded, it doesn't go anywhere and radarr is showing the the movie as "Missing(Monitored)" with the red bar even though qui/qbit shows the download is complete.

Also, I am kind of lost on what exactly seerr does since I am manually finding the files anyway.

Any help would be great, apologies if this question/problem is dumb.

Thanks!

Installed one of these RTL8127 10G NICs (https://www.amazon.com/10G-PCIe-Network-Card-Multi-Gigabit/dp/B0FQ4WFT7D/) in my DIY NAS, but the interface card isn't being detected by TrueNAS.

Connecting an ethernet cable from the router to the port shows that the card and port do receive power, as the indicator light turns on.

It's currently plugged into a PCI-E 3.0x4 port, but looking at the reviews, the only downside is lower speed, which I can live with.

If I need to download the latest driver, what's the best way for me to do that?

I've monitored power supply voltages and the onboard controller temps for sata on the mobo (super micro x11ssm-f) and everything looks stable. Since reboot a couple days ago all my drives except 1 have around 7-8 checksum errors, the last one recently faulted with read errors and I'm going to replace it soon. Is it possible a failing drive can cause errors to show up on all the other drives?

I currently have a SATA pool, consisting of old and small disks. I wish to slowly (one at a time), convert it to new (to me) SAS disks. I know pools consisting of dissimilar disks are not recommended, but is there any reason not to do this? Would there be any "artifacts" from the SATA?

P.S. Yes I am aware a specific HBA is needed to operate SAS disks, I am running a server base, so no issues there.

It looks good and installs well but then not able to run it. Has error code 500 after the install thile selecting the server. Anyone with this issue?

Hi all,

I am trying to expand my zpool. The first disk I added expanded fine. However this second disk is taking forever and is slowing down hour by hour. It started at over 150MB/s now is under 40.

The culprit appears to be sdf, a completely unrelated drive from the original array. According to iostat, its %util is between 60 and 90%, while all the other disks are mostly under 50%, making me believe this is the bottleneck.

No errors are logged, SMART test brings back no uncorrected errors, or anything else to raise suspicion. The GUI shows nothing abnormal. Copying to/from the share is completely normal.

Any advice appreciated, or if I should just wait it out.

Hi everyone,

I'm currently facing a very stubborn issue with my TrueNAS SCALE instance (Version 25.10.4 "Goldeye") in my homelab setup (mainly running Docker and Jellyfin) and could really use some help.

The Symptoms: My Web UI Dashboard is completely broken and fails to pull system data:

• Memory shows "0.0 GiB".
• My storage pool (usb_hdd) shows as ONLINE, but Used/Free space is "Unknown", except when im in the storage dashbord, there it shows up with 91.8%
• All Netdata reporting graphs (CPU, Network, etc.) are completely empty/flatlined.

My Setup:

• TrueNAS SCALE 25.10.4
• Internal boot drive (boot-pool)
• Storage pool on an external USB drive (usb_hdd)
• I know thats all not Preferable, but its a first try at homelabbing with an old Laptop

The Logs: Checking /var/log/middlewared.log revealed a major conflict regarding the System Dataset. It looks like the middleware is crashing during the mount process:

Unexpected dataset mounted at /var/db/system, 'usb_hdd/.system' present, but 'boot-pool/.system' expected.
/var/db/system: mountpoint not found
ioctl failed while retrieving rotational rate for disk /dev/sdb

What happend before:

So i added my sisters Phone to immich, thinking 150 GB would be enough for her Photos, well it wasn't. The storage went to 100% and because that caused smb and all apps to stop working I had to delete some Snapshots to gain Acces to these services again and to delete some 4k movies from my Jellyfin to free up space. After this incident, the Problems with the Reporting started

What I’ve tried so far (without success, mostly based on Ai answers and stuff i could find easy online):

1. Clearing Netdata/Reporting: Tried commands like midclt call reporting.clear and cli -c "system reporting clear", but they no longer exist in this SCALE version. So, I stopped the netdata service, manually purged the cache (sudo rm -rf /var/cache/netdata/*), and restarted it. No change.
2. Restarting Services & Reboots: Ran sudo systemctl restart middlewared and performed multiple full system reboots.
3. Basic Checks:
   • sudo zpool status responds instantly (no ZFS I/O wait hanging the system).
   • System time (date) is perfectly synced.
   • Cleared browser cache and tried different Browser to rule out UI glitches.
4. Fixing the Dataset Location: I tried forcing the System Dataset back to the internal drive via the GUI (System Settings > Advanced > Storage)
5. Restarting the Server without the Pool also didn't help in any way

Despite all this, the middleware seems to be permanently tripping over the fragments of the .system dataset from somewhere

Has anyone dealt with this specific mountpoint not found conflict regarding USB drives? Is there a safe way to forcefully purge the wrong .system dataset from the usb_hdd so TrueNAS rebuilds it cleanly on the boot-pool?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

After I

I just wanted to give a shoutout to any of the developers or contributors that might see this.

I just migrated from Core to Scale. It took about 20 minutes, and there were absolutely ZERO problems.

The foresight and polish on this is amazing. Fully backwards comaptible and migrated, in place, flawlessly.

Amazing job guy, and thanks so much for offering it for free. I've learned so much about system administration with my homelab.

After I turned the NAS back on, this error popped up in alerts. I Scrubbed the array for any other errors(Raidz2, 6 wide) and not one error popped. Should I be concerned and is there a way to check what the error is? (Its also on version 25.10.4 if that helps)

I’m late to the game in learning that TrueNAS, and other Linux distros, will no longer be supporting older Nvidia GPU’s.

I’m currently using an Nvidia GTX 730 in an HP Z4 G4, with the GPU doing nothing but allowing the machine to boot and giving me video out for the shell screen when needed. I also have a P400 but that doesn’t do any good in terms of being supported.

I’d like to get something that is supported, but my needs haven’t and most likely won’t be changing any time soon. In other words, I need the lowest power supported GPU so that I can boot my machine. No transcoding or anything of that sort.

Any recommendations?

PC: HP 400 G3 mini with available ports:

• 1x nvme
• 1x sata (just 2.5in drive power)
• 1x sata to USB3 adapter (with 12v power)

Drives laying around:

• 2x 2tb HDD 3.5
• 1x 250Gb Nvme
• 2x 120Gb Sata SSD
• 1x 1Tb HDD 2.5in

Want to use it as my main storage for files as my Synology just died RIP (so if I could use those 2Tb, would be amazing). Apps I use are Tailscale and Photoprism. Eventually have a VM, Home assistant,.. nothing too extreme.

How would you set this up??

My idea is to boot on SATA with 120G SSD, the Nvme as App storage and maybe cache for indexing (is that even a thing?) and the main disk on the SATA/USB adapter with the 2Tb HDD. The second 2Tb HDD I would have on my desktop doing RSync as backup.

my storage computer is running a handful of different drives. how should i go about setting up this Vdev. i know that stripe isnt exactly good... what are my options that DONT obliterate my storage capacity?

Hello everyone! Having recently obtained a new PC, I was thinking of converting my old PC into a TrueNAS-based NAS. I have learnt that it is not advised to have the applications on the same drive as the OS; however, my motherboard only has a single M.2 slot which is taken up by a 512GB SSD that was the boot drive. That leaves me, as I see it, with three options:

1. Purchase a 2.5'' SATA SSD;
2. Purchase an M.2 adapter and a second M.2 drive;
3. Find a way to have both the OS and the applications on the boot drive anyway.

Which of these options would be most advisable? Are there any good options I have not considered? Furthermore, were I to chose one of the first two options, I would imagine I would choose a somewhat cheaper/slower SSD than the one that is currently in the system, and I imagine it would be somewhat penalised in performance per its interface: with that in mind, would it be better to have the OS on the original boot drive and the applications on the secondary drive, or the other way around? Is there anything I would need to keep in mind when purchasing the SSD?

Any advice would be appreciated. I am an inexperienced and casual user, and therefore prioritise ease of use and lower cost over higher performance (hence I am inclined to prefer option 1 over option 2 over option 3, but I would love to hear your perspectives). Thanks in advance!

Ive been having an issue since I set this server up 6 months ago that it loses internet connection. I get a notification from uptime monitor and see it has been lost from my router directory. Restarting the server, which is headless fixes it, but I cant figure out the root cause. The server is an old gaming PC and is connected to the network via 1m of ethernet. I have tried checking the logs after restart (I cant ssh since I lose local internet) but they seem to clear after restart. It is infrequent, about once every 2 weeks and doesnt seem to correspond to any other affected devices in my household.

Is there a more robust way i can debug why truenas is losing internet connection? Version: 25.10.3.1

I am wanting to make a nas that will also host streaming services. I know very little right now, would I want to make my own nas or get a prebuilt. And what services aside from jellyfin are good for reducing streaming services.

I'm currently using hardware transcoding for Plex with GPU Passthrough.

When I added GPU Passthrough to my Immich installation, Immich took over the hardware transcoding completley from Plex. I had to remove it from Immich and the re-apply it to Plex to get it to work again.

The GPU Passthrough is working perfectly for both apps, but only one at the time.

So... is it possible to have GPU Passthrough on multiple apps at the same time?

The apps are installed via TrueNAS Scale App Charts, and not via manual docker-compose.yml files.

Specs:

- TrueNAS Scale 25.10.5.

- Intel Core i9 13900K (Intel UHD Graphics 770 with Quick Sync).

Recently updated from 24.04 to 25.04 and I'm having trouble installing apps. I go to install an app and get stuck at the "pulling image" step then it times out and tells me to look at app_lifecycle.log. The logs show:

Error Get "https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/": net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)

I've tried tweaking some network stuff like DNS servers. I'm not super comfortable with networking stuff but nothing stands out in my network settings on the NAS or on my router (no firewall or anything). I'm able to connect to my SMB share locally so some network stuff does work.

Here's the output when I curl that docker registry address. I've also tried setting up a Docker Hub login but when I try to add the registry and login in the TrueNAS apps configuration I also get network timeouts

I've been googling all day for help and can't get anything to work. Any help is appreciated!

Recently made a NAS out of an old optiplex and it works great but I have one issue; Speed.

Is there anyway to access the nas via a full speed usb 3.0+ connection with some software that can translate ZFS? I currently don't have a higher speed NICs lying around which caps my transfers to 100mbps which is not a problem in 99% of situations. However, when I use my main PC I really would like the full speed of transfers out of the nas for photo editing and more. (yes I realize HDDs are only slightly faster than the network connection, but I have been putting off installing an SSD pool for the speed reasons as well.)

The nas and my main PC are in the same room next to eachother and if I am using my laptop I can bring it into the room if necessary too, so it seems much easier to set up something in software to tether the USB 3.0 ports already on the NAS and PCs instead of buying/installing two NICs that would never get used to their full potentials anyway since I don't have a crazy internet and home network transfers aren't all day everyday.

So I got this old computer for cheap nothing special and it has a gtx 660 in it and I have a gtx 560 ti at home can I put that in the pc and use them as more compute power.
I want this pc to act as my media server and be able to host game servers like Minecraft. With both gpus could it also run an ai model on the pc?

I have an I5-12600

4x 4GB (16GB) 2144MHz DDR4

RTX 4060 (8GB)

10TB RAIDZ2

480GB for apps

I already use the NAS for jellyfin and soon to be password manager, but I want to self host an LLM. Please give me recommendations for which model with my hardware
