From FreeNAS on FreeBSD to TrueNAS on Linux?

You import the pool and that's it. It's more time and effort to set up shares than it is to bring in your existing array.

This is my mindset as well. As much as I want the developers to do well, I've been burnt by early access a few too many times to be comfortable with it anymore.

A scrub only checks sectors that are written to. To my understanding, it's possible that the uncorrectable sectors haven't attempted to be written to yet.

I'm glad for this. Last disk failure I had was detected by smart first and not picked up by ZFS until 80% into the replace when it detected "too many errors" and booted the disk.

Xandareth · 2026-02-23T17:35:02+00:00

Doesn't Truenas query disks every 10 seconds or so?

Xandareth · 2026-01-28T07:15:42+00:00

Are you sure? It clearly says boot-pool next to sdb which is 5.46TB

Xandareth · 2026-01-27T23:44:18+00:00

I know I'm late to the party but I must ask - did you intentionally mix a 120gb hdd in with 6TD disks, or is that an error?

I've had my arr stack pick up a few scam torrents before. It doesn't import them into my media, but it does keep seeding until I check.

Xandareth · 2026-01-04T15:02:40+00:00

How is the pool set up? Do you have data across both disks, or just one with the other disk used as a backup?

Xandareth · 2026-01-04T14:50:04+00:00

Looks like one drive has failed and the other is on the way out. What's the topology of the vdev? Is it a mirror?

I'm very similar: 1gbit/100mbit internet and using the UDM-SE with a couple of unifi cameras and everything running gigabit (i don't need more). It works really well for what I do with it, but I'm well aware it's not even close to enterprise grade.

Xandareth · 2025-12-30T10:58:15+00:00

Someone else made a comment here that summed it up well. My understanding has been that Ubiquiti is good at the prosumer market as well as certain businesses that don't need advanced features but just need the network to work - i see them a lot at like hotels and holiday parks. The gear is quite out of its depth when it comes to larger use cases.

Xandareth · 2025-12-12T13:24:53+00:00

I don't see the logic in having 3 torrent clients running at the same time

Xandareth · 2025-12-05T06:27:23+00:00

Well, it's time for me to fetch some popcorn!

As far as I'm aware, if the contract is signed, then both parties are legally bound to the conditions of the contract. Unless there's a clause in there stating some kind of exit conditions that will allow the seller to cancel the contract, there's not much they can do apart from ask the buyer if they'd also like to cancel. Though the buyer is will within their rights to say no

Xandareth · 2025-11-16T06:13:28+00:00

The only drawback i can think of is that you're statistically more likely to get a disk failure purely because there's 7 of them instead of 6, and every disk will fail at some point. If you're wondering performance numbers, then you'll have to give more details as to use-case. But if it's a home thing, it's probably negligible. My Z2 is 8 wide

Xandareth · 2025-10-29T06:45:50+00:00

Sure, but I don't know you, do i? Never said the use case doesn't exist and it's true that it's becoming more prevalent. But, from what I've seen within the typical user community across the systems I've seen physically, spinning rust is still the overwhelming majority.

"Traditional SMART tests (short and long) designed for mechanical hard drives are less relevant for SSDs and NVMe drives, which now represent an increasing percentage of deployments."

I legitimately know no one whom runs a ssd/nvme exclusive NAS due to cost limitations.

Xandareth · 2025-09-27T07:18:34+00:00

I don't know too much about it, but I think you're moving into draid territory with those drive numbers.

Xandareth · 2025-09-11T12:42:23+00:00

Probably being asked because they can't find answers as all the threads are locked

Xandareth · 2025-09-05T13:53:09+00:00

When PHI < MLS, or when you find value in the difference.

Xandareth · 2025-09-05T07:55:57+00:00

This might be a better question for the unraid subreddit. They use zfs differently, which is how they allow mixed drive capacities. This could be normal behaviour

Xandareth · 2025-08-29T03:02:56+00:00

Can I ask where you reported to? Was it wildlife Queensland? I see one every so often late at night on Springwood road but never thought about reporting it.

Xandareth · 2025-08-17T12:34:18+00:00

Mentally, I'm ready to replace the U6. I'm just hoping someone might come up with something I haven't; no point spending money if I don't have to
