Also I have some suggestions. I'd like to see some simple things that are kind of a given. 1: we need a better way to explore files, add files, delete files and so one. we need a native app kind of like windows file explorer. 2: We need a easier native way to set up external network sharing for out of network access. 3: We need it to somehow read and right and share files on NTFS, and exFAT Drives. I have external drives I use for plex and my old nas used them and stored 6000 plus movies along with 50 sum tv series. Connecting them forces me to Format them to ZFS which means losing all those files and the only way to get around it is to figure out how to access remotely the folders already on Hex os on another computer and transfer files over network which is a SLOW option for that many files and risks also losing some files or corrupting them. I know this is new and things take time but these are things i think are basic and should be priority. Things need to be made as simple as can be for those like myself who are new to all this and are learning. a lot of the TrueNas functions are foreign to me and are like trying to read Chinese. I'm used to Terra-Master and while they SUCKED on many levels some of the basic features were there and i still had the ability to upload download files, use exFAT, and NTFS external drives for storage and so. I would like to eventually find a great quality internal hard drive that is 24 tb plus hard drive or 2 of them to install in my new set up one day but they are EXPENSIVE. Even the externals i just baught were not cheep. They are costing me almost 600 dollars. I don't have the money to shell out to get expensive hardware. This is why I chose Hex OS because its advertised to be simple and easy. I follow Linus Tech and big fan and I trust his judgment on this. I just want to use it for Plex and File Storage. I want to access Plex and my files remotely like I did with Terra-Master and also Share Plex with Family and Friends remotely. Eventually I'd Even consider trying to find a way to use it to start my own Minecraft Server. But that's a ways away for now.

I rolled back to the previous version of Truenas and it solved the issue. The server also wasn't able to restart/shutdown gracefully anymore as well... To roll back: Log in to Truenas UI Go to System > Boot Click the Activate icon (looks like a check mark) on the right for the previous boot environment. Restart. Pushing major updates during the Christmas break, even ignoring the recent track record, is beyond me... The HexOS team will remember this, if nothing else, and hopefully learn from it! The Log4j vulnerability that had me working during Christmas 2021 is permanently etched in my memory. 🙄
