Here is what Jon has said on the subject for HexOS. "The problem with SMART is that it leads to a lot of false positives. Users often replace drives too early due to a SMART notification that was being misinterpreted or overstated. SMART tries to be a crystal ball and predict when a drive is about to fail, but a lot of times it could be something totally unrelated to the drive that is causing SMART to act up (faulty SATA cable, bad PSU, etc.). In the world of TrueNAS, ZFS is the ultimate arbiter for deciding when a drive needs to be replaced. So I understand why TrueNAS doesn't feel the need to have a secondary "early warning system" when the system is already designed with fault-tolerance in mind. Furthermore it creates a giant burden of support as users constantly ask "well what does this SMART error mean to me?" I can tell you that from years of reading SMART data from customer systems, the answer on whether or not a drive replacement is really required is more often than not "it depends." Users that believe in using SMART can install the Scrutiny app. Our official stance on this is that ZFS is there to protect you from device failure, so SMART is just not necessary."

Hello, You shouldn't rename pools. It could brake SMB shares and defualt locations. Not worth it.

I love the purple 3d printed case! It's really sweet.

Hello. If you want to run a Windows VM then hold off on buying till we release that feature. Also try to setup your drives the following. Boot drives. 2 256 GB or 128 GB drives. 3 Hard drives for data. 3 minimum so it can grow. If possible 2 NVMe drives for apps. This makes everything run much faster. 512 GB or 1 TB should be good. Also a good branded UPS. Hope this helps.

Users licenses are saved under the email address you select when purchasing. Think of a Google or Apple account. We keep track of the amount of servers you link which takes a license. You can remove the link to a server which then adds the license back. You can buy now and use anything time..

We don't have hardware to test more of the advanced setups. It would be a lot of effort and time and costs to do this. We rely on trying to find things online for support for TrueNAS Scale since we are focused on making the interface and not the hardware. In the long run I think most of our users will max out at 2.5 to 10 GB nics. Probably between 4 and 7 drives. This is where we focus because the when you start going to more advanced setups those users will just use TrueNAS. Now I do see down the road we may have some features that are so easy to use along with a killer apps system that they may just buy for that.

Intel cards are well-supported by TrueNAS Scale. With that said I can't guarantee it but it should. Once you install it you'll have to update a few things if this isn't going to be a new install. On the server once fully booted you'll have to go through options 1 and 2 to make sure it knows to use the new network card. Once that is set you can log into the new ip address for the TrueNAS UI. Once in there you'll want to update the network settings to make sure the settings are correct for the new network card. Last step is edit the HexOS app in the app section of TrueNAS. You need to update the ip of what your TrueNAS was with the old network card to the ip of the new network card (Ip with TrueNAS WebUi). Just go down till you see a setting with the old ip and update to the new then scroll to the bottom to save it. Hope this helps. Thanks for supporting HexOS.

Thanks for the suggestion. We probably won't be able to look at doing this till after buddy backup are out. I'm not sure if they only show the connected ones or have an advanced toggle that would let you hide them indevidually. Thanks again for supporting HexOS!

Thanks for posting your experience. Sorry you ran into that issue. We feel immich is a very important app. We are working towards ways of making apps as reliable as possible.

Anyone still looking for their email to be changed please email support@hexos.com with their existing email account and the one you want to change to. Thank you.

Originally the reason for making all the apps a SambaShare was because sometimes users needed access to edit or change something in the apps directory. This is not something TrueNAS does but we were trying to make it easier for normal people who wouldn't know how to get into those folders and edit a file if they needed. It's still something we discuss if it's still something we need to do or maybe we should just hide it since we're on our way to building a whole apps system.

@da.rencan you also send me some times for tomorrow? Again in CST that we can do a Google meet?

@Maximus do you have time to do a Google meet tomorrow? We are in the CST. Can you send me over sometimes that would work for you and we can set up the appointment.

Yes that processor does not meet the minimum specs unfortunately.

AnyRaid is not released yet. When it gets released by the ZFS people it has to be adopted first into TrueNas. So just a guess is that it probably won't be here till next year. There won't be a way to convert to it. You have to start from scratch so you'd have to copy off all the data from your existing system to something and then format the drives as AnyRaid. Then copy the data back over. Thanks
