Pulling insane hours at work

I’d love to beta test

you can access it from the web on your phone, currently there isn't much of a need for an app until they maybe allow you to access files from everywhere

i'm quite interested in this as it looks like truenas itself has it built in, i cant imagine there would be a whole lot to port it over.🤷‍♀️

pi hole worked for me

i wont even lie i knew that but i complete was lost on what we were talking about appearantly as i was referencing pool cache. i feel really dumb bc i knew you can have redundant os drives 🤦‍♀️

The only practical use I see for it right now is as a secondary management option, in case something goes wrong while setting a static IP or making other network changes. Using Wi-Fi for storage transfers would, in my opinion, defeat the purpose of having a NAS since the transfer speeds would be painfully slow. Personally, I prefer to hardwire everything, including printers, whenever possible. It just seems to result in fewer issues overall. That said, this is just my perspective as someone who works with tech daily and sees the challenges Wi-Fi connections can cause. With Wi-Fi 7, the situation might improve, but I’m not sure how they’d configure it to ensure it only uses Wi-Fi 6+ and not older standards if the network card supports them. Considering Wi-Fi 7 was only released this year, it’ll take some time for the necessary ecosystem—hardware, routers, and other network gear—to fully adopt it. To truly benefit, devices like phones and computers would also need to support it.

my guess is that it may be an option in the future or maybe when they add the ability for manual configuration of pools

i did that last night! after creating a thread about my drive not working and then realizing it was dead lol

currently no, once i move it to prod and i stop trying to break it lol i will eventually get another drive/pull one from my unused machine for that purpose, as it is a lot better for redundancy.

After testing i forgot that in this current beta there is NO custom/manual pool configuration so if the automatic wizard doesn't show it currently you cannot do it

email, also i was order #024 so i was fairly sure id be part of the first group lol

Actually found my other drive, I’m testing it now I will let you know how it goes

It didn’t but I only had 3 drives as the drive I was going to use for cache had died 😂 I believe I have another drive around so I may try again later

Also under your uploaded picture right under the name it says it’s 724 kB and the error says it’s supports up to 501.76 kB
