Is there any update / ETA for when users who have been using TrueNAS & want to switch to HexOS will be able to import their pools inside of HexOS? I purchased the license on Black Friday & would love to contribute but have been waiting on the ability to seamlessly import my pools. I saw a post about a user importing a dummy drive & then importing them in the TrueNAS UI but I want to do it through HexOS & not do a hack method

Hello, I successfully installed HexOS using UTM on macOS with an Apple M3 CPU (ARM). UTM, which is built on QEMU, allows you to emulate* a different architecture if you’re running something other than ARM. In this case, it was used to emulate x86_64, which is required for HexOS. Notes: • Disable UEFI: Ensure UEFI is disabled in the hypervisor template. • Use BIOS: During the HexOS installation process, do not enable UEFI; choose BIOS instead. • Add Pool Drives Later: Pool drives (IDE) were added after the initial setup. If this step is not followed, the deck may not be able to locate the local server. • App Installation: Apps were added via the TrueNAS interface because the HexOS installation was failing at 60%. • Hardware Settings: • Architecture: x86_64 • System: Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009) (alias of pc-q35-9.1) (q35) • Emulated Display Card: virtio-vga-gl (GPU Supported)

Let's not be too mean spirited about HexOS. Cutting some slack at this point is, I think, an acceptable approach. I share the frustrations of many, but I also sympathise with the developers who have found themselves dealing with a much bigger community than expected. Being in OS Engineering myself, I totally sympathise with the desire to get things right before letting it out the door. Being in OS Engineering myself. I am personally frustrated that I cannot get the latest functionality in a fortnightly drop to help test out. It's a tricky balance. I have my fingers crossed for the Q2 update to arrive during Q2 with an expanded landscape for testing. My greatest issue with HexOS unfortunately cannot be resolved by the devs. I am now speccing an imaginary server to meet an ever expanding list of requirements 😏

I see an opportunity for a HexOs AnyRaid usable storage calculator 😀
