Manual Pool Configuration Customize your storage pools with granular control over drive participation. This even includes the ability to create 1-drive pools (without redundancy or expandability). This applies to both our setup wizard and the main storage page itself. Proper warnings are displayed based on the risk profile of the pool being configured. In addition, users that previously "disconnected" (this process is now referred to as "Unclaiming") their server from HexOS can easily reconnect through the setup wizard without being forced to recreate their storage pools from scratch (just click "skip" when on the storage configuration page of the wizard). New Activity Center The Health card has been replaced with Activity. Activity tracks everything you do in HexOS: our custom orchestration, server events, alerts, updates, and dismissals. Dismissed activities are reviewable from the activity archive. Update to TrueNAS SCALE 24.10.2.2 Another benefit of the new activity center is the ability to update the OS running on your local server itself. You will find the ability to update the OS also in the new Activity Center on the Dashboard. User Settings & Preferences Improvements Light or dark theme, preferred language, hidden dashboard cards, these all now sync and persist across browser sessions. The dashboard is yours to shape and customize as you see fit. UI and Stability Improvements Improved card layout and polish across the UI, the password field now supports toggling visibility, username character limit raised to 30, and plenty of behind the scenes stability fixes. Customizable Location Preferences You can now set exactly your performance versus capacity pools, app locations and other storage preferences that allow our one click installs to work. Works across all curated and custom apps. How to Update Updating the Command Deck itself is an action performed by the HexOS development team. User's are not required to perform any action to receive the update. It will appear automatically upon login after it goes live. For users still running the 24.10.0.0 build of TrueNAS SCALE, you will see an "Update Available" notification under the Activity Center once you login. Once you engage the update, do NOT power off your system. Wait for the update to download and restart your server automatically. Your system will automatically reconnect to the Command Deck when complete. The time this process can take will vary based on your Internet connection. Known Issues There is a TrueNAS SCALE bug that affects HexOS users when switching your network configuration from DHCP to Static; manually setting DNS before making this change will prevent the issue; we have a planned hotfix for this as well. Skipping storage pool creation in the wizard allows users to create pools within TrueNAS and they will show up in HexOS; WARNING: we have not tested all pool layouts (or sub-pools either), experiment with great caution.

You'll see a theme pretty soon with our other staff ;-). We had our offsite meeting in June where we all got together in person for the first time and our UI/UX designer is also a photographer and set up some nice headshots for us. BTW, we are looking to push the update later today!!

Hey. Profile picture update before Q2 update? Rude. 😆

Hi all!! We spent the day today rolling out the update and we are finally done! Everyone should be seeing the new update as soon as you login to the deck. Happy testing!!

Mill got me figured out, thanks y'all!

The waiting game is almost over 🙂 💪

Thanks! We are going through our final fixes today with plans to publish tomorrow. There will be a few “known issues” that we intend to address which we will document in the release notes. The biggest being our need to address the changes to Immich, but after this release, our cadence for publishing updates will be far more frequent. This release marks the culmination of 6 months of team expansion and growth. With these guys well tuned now, we will be moving at a quicker pace.

I have the same issue in Firefox

WOOT! Already updated my man! About to leave for vacay but will kick the tires on this update upon return.

No. We're looking at issues with Plex and Immich in July.

I assume if i have already updated my truenas to latest 24.10.2.2 there wont be any issues when Q2 hexos update roles out?

Weekend testing went great! Documented a handful of bugs/issues that the team is actively squashing this week. Still hoping to publish the release by Friday, but we reserve the right to postpone till Monday if necessary. Here's a sneak peak at pool customization (drive selection) in the wizard: You'll notice in the background next to the "Continue" button that we have the option to "Skip" now! This will let users get into the dashboard without configuring any storage pools. This will enable the ability to adopt existing pools from TrueNAS SCALE itself (and other platforms).

Short answer: no You'll need to resort to using SMB, NFS, or Rsync over the network to copy from the USB drive to your TrueNAS ZFS pool. See also: https://www.truenas.com/community/threads/is-it-possible-to-copy-data-from-external-usb-drive.115693/
