the jonsbo n5 is quite the chonker of a case. Despite the large size it is incredibly pingy almost like a giant tuning fork. I ended up using 1 sheet of leftover sound deadening mat i had from working on my car years ago. i could easily have added even more but i was feeling lazy and the one sheet made a world of difference. I used Noico Black 80 mil because my custom car audio system wasn't expensive enough for me to purchase anything higher quality. If i were to buy sound deadening material today it would likely be resonix. I didn't have a system in the case prior to adding the sound deadening but knocking on the individual pieces it was super apparent that the pinging was gone after. I also replaced the screws holding in the backplane with screws with rubber vibration dampeners. the screws that came with the product were too big and i just replaced them with similar looking screws that came with the jonsbo case I honestly have no idea if this made any difference at all. some others on reddit commented that when they added vibration dampeners they were unable to seat their hdds all the way or close the magnetic front cover. Due to that i went and bought what i thought looked the thinnest in hopes i could avoid the issues they had. I can happily confirm i am both able to fully seat my drives and close the magnetic front cover I added 3 extra hdds to my case. i had inserted the drives into my phanteks drive caddies that i had from a previous case. If i didn't already have these i would be curious about trying this the original plan was to drill out some mounting holes for the drive caddies but between my drillbit being too dull to drill through the case and realizing the mounting mechanism is more than just 2 hooks on each side i decided against doing that. A giant unfiltered hole like that would be just begging for bugs to enter. I also considered double sided vhb tape however the drive caddies would be stuck in a location where it would be impossible to remove the drives from if i did that. I didn't even consider screwing down the caddies into the case for the same reason. Originally i was hoping to add the 3 extra hdds to the upper level of the case on the bottom right corner of the case (assume that the mobo io shield is on top left) Theoretically there was enough room there for the drives and the caddies however it blocked access to a few of my mobo sata ports so i had to give up on that plan. i think if you avoid mobos with right angle connectors along its right edge it should be fine and more ideal than my solution. (assuming mobo is matx or smaller) I stuck my drives on the bottom level right under the mobo and next to the psu. it was a stupid tight fit or the cables. Also far from ideal when it comes to airflow. it is sitting directly between the lower level fan and the backplane+main hdd area I was going to just use velcro but as luck would have it i ran out of velcro. Instead i consulted chatgpt to see if there were any alternatives that had less micro wobble and still removable. i was given 2 options velcro alfa lok or 3m dual lock they both are similar but i picked the outdoor rated alfa lock instead because it had faster shipping. my feelings on the product is that it is barely removable. Outside the case i spent a good amount of time and force pre-connecting the both sides of the alfa lok i dont have faith i can get a proper connection between both sides if i had to connect them again while in the case Next part when im less sleepy 😅

Make sure when you are configuring filebrowser that in the "Storage Configuration" section you are adding an additional storage. For mine I simply just added the path: /mnt/HDDs (as shown below) Doing this worked and allowed the browser to launch! I am quite new to TrueNas so this was just trial and error for me. Once the application was launch I was able to connect following the instructions on Installation - File Browser I did run into an issue that for my sub datasets, specifically one for applications. It say I "don't have permission to access this." despite the user settings for all datasets being root. Not sure if anyone else would have some insight on this issue.

Brother you saved me such a headache I just wanted to say thanks for your post. Appreciate you putting in the work so others don't have to drive themselves crazy trying to get this to work. I just installed on my Terranmaster and its been smooth sailing. Again, many thanks!

Thank you.

What errors are you getting and to get shell you could plug in a monitor to the hardware HexOs is powered by

Hey, With Ryzen 1000-3000 CPUs you have to disable all the C-states or else the server is constantly freezing, just something to keep in mind

Just make sure to avoid motherboard with realtek nics (network interface cards) To get expandable storage pools they need to be made with at least 3 drives

In case anyone is wondering - It went fine. All just worked with no issues. All I had to do was disable Watch Dog.

Good morning I'm looking to replace my old Nas server that is still running freenas. The hardware on that machine is an old FX8350. My current plan is to build a new machine with used hardware that I have in stock. I want to know if there are any issues or recommendations for my current path. My aim, build a back up server and Plex for my family. Motherboard: b450 or b550 CPU: And 3200g - il will get a better CPU if required Ram : 16gb ddr4 Storage: 16 - 20to HDD to be purchased, the old Nas have a 16to that is 70% full. Power supply 850w Graphic card Gtx1650 if needed Of course, I already bought my license for Hexos months ago for that purpose. Thank you for your advice Frank

Hi all, Has anyone already experiences with hexos in minisforum Nas 5 pro? I read that the nas could run truenas instead of the preinstalled one, but not sure if possible or useful..

i realy need help i bought hexos cuase my memroy is goin and just wanting somethink easy to to run for my kids but i getting errors and i dont no how to shell please help

Yup. It's 2 x 6 wide z2 vdevs or rather it will be once my transfer is complete and i can move over my drives for now is just 1 6 wide z2 vdev I'm using rsyncui, a rsync gui for Mac My old server is barely a server. It's a Macbook connected to das. I had it run a samba server and my old jellyfin server. It's also WiFi connected so that limits my speeds Not yet, i put it off since i haven't had a power outage once since i moved here 3 years ago. But i definitely need one sooner than later. Part of the reason i kept putting it off was that the nut compatibility list always seems so daunting

That's impressive, glad that it's working as you expected it =D Is your pool 2 now RaidZ2? 🙂 How do you intend to copy the files over? If the old server is Hexos/Truenas I would recommend replication task via network or just chuck the old drives in the new server and do a replication tasks from one pool to the other. If it's none Hexos/Truenas then good luck 😁 nah just kidding rsync is also awesome and if you leave it running you should be done in a week 🙂 Do you have an UPS for your setup?

I'm getting a UGREEN NASync DXP480T Plus shortly and I'm wondering if anyone has tried HexOS on that (or something similar)?

Building this server is finally done (after some amazon delays) i just started the transfer from my only server to the new one and uhm it might take weeks if not months just to transfer 50tb of data from one to the other. i gotta say it was rough. ill go into more detail later but new final plan changed to this Pool 1 (misc storage) 3 x 16 tb Seagate skyhawk ai hdd Pool 2 (main storage) 7 x 14 tb Seagate exos hdd 5 x 14tb Western Digital ultra star hdd metadata vdev 3x 870 evo 500gb pool 3 (apps pool) 2 x Intel Pro 5400s 240 GB pool 4 (iscusi pool) 3 x 2 tb Samsung 980 pro ssd (found another one in my ps5) im dead tired after software troubleshooting so more info to come after a nap

i can confirm that in hex its reading 10gig nic as 5gig as this network card come out of old server which was running truenas and was reading as 10gig

Hi, I have 2 offices where people create media and upload it to the respective NAS systems. I am looking for something, that will 1. Bring new data created in both offices to parity, with files copied into the other devices on their own. 2. I also want a third or even fourth backup in the future by connecting a new NAS in a third upcoming office, so multiple backups 3. ability schedule this data transfer for overnight/ with folder level granularity for things like a folder for sales reports should be backed up across multiple NAS devices instantly, while folders with video files for our ad platforms can be uploaded as per a schedule of my choosing Do you think HEX-OS could serve this purpose for me?

i agree here in Australia, is painfull using it so slow

that would be nice and beter info on the network icons and stuff

for now your best bet is to refer to this answer

So the simplest way that I do this is Via Tailscale, I have the mapped drive from Hexos Via the Ip given by Tailscale running in Cobian Backup to do complete backups "only transferring new files" from my home PC's data drive. I also have the same thing running with URbackup on hexos that does a complete backup of the whole C drive into a img incase of my laptop becoming lost or stolen.

What problems they had; It's a mobile chip, how did you found one? Did you build it or is premade? It feels like building something you risk the chance of having a les than ideal energy consumption. But buying something prebuild is going to be under powered or expensive. It's a server for only me and i think i am not interested in transcoding.

would love to see that

Nice!

just finshed building my server 64 ddr5 on amd 5 board with 8700g cpu and 15 hardrives
