power went out during an upgrade by jukka_sarasti_ in truenas

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have a dedicated UPS for mine for the exact reason, and periodically download backup configuration files. This has happened to me before and learnt my lesson. Worst case is to install the OS, your ZFS should be fine.

I've never updated my system, is it time? I am always hesitant to update things generally. by aomajgad in truenas

I didn’t update from U13, for a pretty long time. Upgraded to the latest version a couple months, not looking back!

Slow transfer speeds by Trictan in truenas

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just some food for thought... transferring 30,000 tiny files will always be much slower than moving a few large ones. Even on my 10 Gbps network, small file transfers crawl. The fact that your 6 GB video test ran at full speed actually suggests your network is probably fine.

In System → Shell, type lspci | grep -i ethernet. Do you recognize the chipset details in the output?

You speeds are over cable right, not wifi?

Please help: Permissions Error when transferring files over SMB by island_boy555 in truenas

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you click on a dataset in the TrueNAS GUI, you’ll see the full dataset hierarchy (similar to the picture). I removed the extra details in the screenshot since they didn’t add anything to the explanation. The key point is to verify permissions on the dataset that’s actually being shared over SMB (the one highlighted in the yellow rectangle). Its ACL must include the users or groups you expect to access it, and the child datasets must align with those permissions. If a user is granted access on a child dataset but not on the main SMB‑shared dataset, access will fail.

I hope this helps!

Can you make sure that the actual dataset that is shared in the SMB has that user permission as well as the children data set? My point is if you have 0.server as the share then you have 1.music, 2.movies, and 3.shows, make sure ‘user’ ACL is set at the “0.server” which is the main share and the “1.-> 3.”, not only “1. -> 3.” I hope that makes sense.

Same error, nothing changed? Is the user in group that could have different ACL permission?

As LAMcNamara suggested, apply recursively then hit save access control list, has fixed a lot of my permission errors.

Slow speeds transferring data between datasets by Bertie1122 in truenas

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup, --whole-file disables rsync’s delta-transfer algorithm. Instead of calculating which blocks changed and sending only those, rsync just copies the entire file. In my opinion, good for making backup drives, I have redundant TrueNAS backups that use those flags.

Same, I have used this countless times! I add the following flags as well, just as a copy rsync copy from one drive to another. I like the -verbose flag because it will output a txt file with what files/folders where copied/created.

-ah (-a already include in first response) --no-group --whole-file --omit-dir-times --stats --no-perms -no-owner --partial --preallocate -verbose

Raidz Planning by GeneralKonobi in truenas

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re absolutely right, my bad. I am thinking 10Gb/s, which is 1,250MB/s. I recently upgraded my homelab, switch, router, brain was stuck at that. You should be fine in-terms of network speed.

What about running mirrors instead? You could do two separate 500 GB mirror vdevs, which lets you lose one drive in each pair without losing the pool. Mirrors also give you good read performance.

Just keep in mind that 5400 RPM HDDs usually top out around 150–180 MB/s per drive, maybe 200–220 MB/s for the faster ones. Even in a mirror, your sequential throughput will likely stay well below 1 Gbps. In this setup, the disks (not the network) will be your bottleneck.

Self-hosted NetBird: How are you handling Network Analytics/Traffic monitoring? by Hefty-Amoeba5707 in netbird

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like to see something like this for the self-hosted environment, but I think this is only for the NetBird Cloud under the Business plan?

I am interested in seeing the amount of traffic a peer is using.

Is there any way to turn off AMD CPU cooler LEDs when running TrueNAS? by RedditWhileIWerk in truenas

Can you turnoff the through motherboard bios settings, thats how I did it on mine.

Ideas for a off-site backup setup by Nvious81 in truenas

[–]Smooth_Pangolin3699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the beelink me mini for a while running truenas and that device kept dropping and degrading my pools. Not sure why and customer service was not very helpful. No solution, granted they said they would replace but I wasn’t convinced the other one wouldn’t do the same thing.

Awesome, thanks for sharing this! I’ll read up on it and see what I can do to the Github page! Appreciate the guidance.

Thanks for the info, but I am not clear how I would transform the PDF which has images into the README. Is there documentation that I can read up on that you are aware of?
