A few weeks ago I did approximately the above sequence, but I had to manually recreate the share folders in HexOS based on what the pool showed in truenas. Maybe it's different now, but there needs to be a cleaner way to back up the configuration and restore the boot drive without a hacky workaround. The whole point of HexOS is I should never have to go into truenas or do anything very manual. I also had to redownload my apps but this was just plex and Immich so not a big deal for me, but bigger for others.

Absolutely. I also had both my boot drives fail. I was able to import the pool in truenas and recaggiger my Immich database but it was a pain. Ended up with a silver lining of Plex finally playing nicely on reinstalling but this is a huge problem that needs to be solved.

So, my motherboard has 4 ethernet ports + an impi port, and they're all showing up in my interface: 1, 2 & 4 is not plugged into my network, but they're taking quite alot of space. 5 seems to actually be the IPMI port as well, not really relevant for the systems overview IMO. Would love if maybe the unplugged interfaces would be greyed out, and maybe an option to hide interfaces. P.S. Could we maybe get to see the IP on connected interfaces?

Shame on you all. Sam Jackson would not approve.

Hello. If your boot device fails just install a new boot drive. Reinstall with the HexOS USB stick and install to that boot drive. Once it restarts and boots up it would probably be best to log into your to trueNAS and do the OS update. Have it reboot. Once up and running login to the hub of HexOS and unclaim your server so you have a license to use. Then select the add server option and reclaim your server. Skip the drive setup options so you can set up manually. Usually HexOS sees your existing data automatically. Sometimes you have to resetup your apps. In few instances you have to do an import in TrueNas for it to see your previous data volumes. When it auto detects it HexOS sees it which is most of the time. And in rare instances TrueNAS doesn't see it and that import option has to be done. This is just the general overview.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying.

I dont use HexOS...yet, but +1 here.

If my boot device fails, what is the restore procedure? I can't seem to find one if there is, like restoring my datasets pools users etc

Immich, pi-hole, home assistant, nextcloud, open speed test, plex, and mumble all failed about 10 hours ago. Like I said, immich has been a problem for a while. Also, I can't restart pihole. Reinstalling pi hole would be pretty easy, the others to, except immich because I backed up a lot of pictures. Thanks for your help and quick response.

Over a year later and I'm seeing similar behavior. I think my actual issue was a bad sata cable or port. Tried initially just reseating the cable and the drive that was previously showing IO errors disappeared. Then I plugged into a different port with different cable and it showed up just fine. It's still showing the pool as unhealthy but I think that's from previous errors, and also unrelated. Bottom line I agree there needs to be a clean option in HexOS to replace a failed drive that's no longer showing up.

Hi Jammer, I reached out in your dms to see if there was anything i can do.

Ever since this WD Red, meant for NAS, are SMR drives BS from WD, (and a bad support experience after a brand new drive died after 1 day) I've avoided them when there was an alternative, being it SSDs or HDDs. Nonetheless, very interesting video, to see what the differences really mean.

Hey, 1 account can have multiple licenses. If you want to be your own buddy backup you can buy a second license with your account, if you have a buddy who wants to be your backup buddy, that person can make an own account and buy it's own licence. However you cannot transfer a licence from one account to another account. I hope this was understandable

Hey, you can't leave a cliffhanger like! Don't friends normally share bigger impacts with one another? 😁

I believe there was a long discussion in a few posts but it came down to two licenses, two accounts. If I am wrong someone will surely correct me. Hold on, I take that back because that way you could sell the second license and defeat the pricing overall.

[EZFS_CKSUM] Failed to import 'HDDs' pool: cannot import 'HDDs' as 'HDDs': insufficient replicas and now im getting this

As far as I understand it I only have one license and one account? Is it possible to get a second account for my buddy? How is this supposed to work? Or does this just allow me to have 2 server in my one account? I'm confused.

We have no editorial input or control over the LTT videos. We don't pay for sponsorship or anything like that either. The fact that it came out this weekend was pure happenschance. We are looking into the SMB issue and will see what we can do from our side to address. Tbh, what we have planned for the rest of the year is going to have an even bigger impact than the 1.0 release in my mind. With respect to price, an announcement about our scheduling pricing changes will be coming soon.

Hey, I have a couple questions. After watching the latest LTT video about needing a NAS, did you ask for a little publicity now that you are in the 1.0 neighborhood? I have NO problem if you did but i'm not sure they really did the product a favor. Yes the setup overall show the simplicity but the SMB issue is pretty common and pretty troubling. Plouffe did say it was a Microsoft issue but most people don't have many people willing to bail you out. And Microsoft security setting are not something you screw with if you don't have real experience. You probably could have done without that "I get the key. So I didn't pay for it.' comment as well. Oh well, any publicity is good publicity right? The video was a little weird to watch sine it must have been filmed a few months ago. So now that you have reached this point is the price going up? That would put you right up there with the lifetime Unraid price. You have been warning folks all along it would happen so we can't ack surprised.

@mill3000 let's take a look at his issue this week.

I have had about a half dozen apps suddenly fail to update. For a while it was just immich, now it is multiple apps. Has anyone else had this experience? It's very frustrating. Have never had this issue in the past, started in the last month or so...

now getting this error it not importing now

All we can say at this point is we are slowing rolling out local to new users. Over 400 so far have been migrated.

my issue has been resolved. for anyone in the future that finds this thread seeking the same information that i was, the correct process is to reach out via email to support@hexos.com

I was a bit late to the party and only recently picked up a couple of licenses. Out of curiosity, is there an ETA for the 1.0 rollout for those of us who onboarded more recently?
