TrueNAS Open Storage

@geerlingguy Yes - you can read some deeper discussion at forums.truenas.com/t/clearing-the… and the Chris/Kris team also discussed it on the T3 podcast today: youtube.com/watch?v=X28dH8…

Uh @TrueNAS is this true? linuxiac.com/truenas-moves-…

Is SMART back? Today's TrueNAS Tech Talk is short but sweet - there's a quick hotfix for TrueNAS 25.10.2, an official TrueNAS Proxmox storage plugin is available for Community testing, Docker network support is landing in the App catalog - and an update on plans for SMART options for monitoring drive health. Watch episode here: hubs.la/Q0452jM20

SMART has been and will continue to be actively used to monitor all connected disks. TrueNAS will still react to critical alerts that require your attention, in conjunction with the much more reliable ZFS drive health monitoring and alerting. Detailed response in the link below. forums.truenas.com/t/we-re-bringi…

just found out that they removed the controls for scheduling SMART disk health tests from @TrueNAS… What in the actual fuck? It’s a storage operating system. Scheduled SMART tests are like storage 101 best practice. Do better @iXsystems

TrueNAS 25.10.2 is out. Kris and Chris cover what’s new, what’s fixed, and recap key 25.10 features. Kris has also been hard at work in the lab - the TrueNAS Labs, launching today with the first experimental project, the Model Context Protocol server. Hear about how Kris has been talking to his TrueNAS, and actually getting an answer back. Listen here: hubs.la/Q0440MyN0

NEW EPISODE! On today's episode of TrueNAS Tech Talk, raise the alert flags - and badges, and modal dialogs - it's time to start unveiling the UI and UX overhaul work in progress for TrueNAS 26. Today's focus is the new Alert system, now with greater details, suggested actions, links to the documentation, contextual highlighting, and more! We'll also take on four (or five, depending on how you count them) more viewer questions. Link here: hubs.la/Q0432VrP0

Chris Peredun (aka HoneyBadger) joins Jeff from Craft Computing on the Talking Heads podcast tonight, busting some ZFS myths, and sharing insights on where TrueNAS and OpenZFS will be heading over the next year! Link here: hubs.la/Q041TF6L0

Stop logging into three dashboards to see what one unified view should show you. TrueNAS Connect Plus unifies up to three systems in one view - giving you the full picture of your storage environment in seconds, not clicks. Stay in control without the complexity.

New hardware just dropped. The TrueNAS R60 brings serious NVMe performance and massive capacity into a compact 1U system built for AI, analytics, and high-speed data workloads. If you love pushing your storage to the limit, this one’s worth a closer look:hubs.la/Q0415hP60 #truenas #zfs #beststorage #performance #nvmestorage #nvme

Metadata writes bogging you down? A special VDEV guarantees a higher performance floor, moving small writes off spinning disks and speeding up cache misses. Learn more on the latest T3 podcast episode (EP050) #StorageTips #DataManagement

Why is ZFS "eating all my RAM?" Because free memory is wasted memory! ARC fills up as much as it can with frequently/recently accessed data. With compression, you're getting even MORE space efficiency. #ZFS #DataStorage

ZFS “tiering” is already in the box: ARC, L2ARC, special VDEVs, SLOG. What do they actually do, how do they interact, and which one should you use? Also: TrueNAS 26 LXC update: libvirt-powered nightlies, testers wanted (especially weird USB/GPU passthrough). Watch the latest T3 Tech Talk:hubs.la/Q040j6lM0

Since its first appearance in August and initial launch in late October, TrueNAS 25.10 “Goldeye” has gone from a beta product to a successful new release, with over 60,000 early adopters taking advantage of the latest that TrueNAS has to offer. Today, we’re unveiling the first update, TrueNAS 25.10.1, featuring over 100 fixes and improvements, as well as ongoing improvements for TrueNAS Connect. Read more here: bit.ly/4azAi0n

SSDs require care. NAND cells leak voltage, impacting data. With component prices rising, protect your SSD to avoid early burnout. Learn how to take care of your SSDs on the latest episode. #SSD #TechTips

Is ZFS without ECC better than a non-checksumming file system with ECC? Most data corruption comes from disks or other components. Assess your risk profile and make informed decisions. ECC vs Non-ECC RAM EP07 of the T3 podcast. #ZFS #ECC #DataIntegrity #DataStorage #TechDebate

L2ARC ratios of 1:4 or 1:5 are overblown. 1:50 works fine. For a 400GB L2ARC, fit indexes within 8GB RAM. Caching algos need enough RAM to decide what to push to the second level. EP048 T3 Podcast. #TrueNAS #ZFS

NFS is often slower than iSCSI due to its default sync requirement. A log device can help, but speed matters more than size. Under-provisioning helps with wear leveling, keeping your NAS busy. EP048#NFS #iSCSI
