Hard Drive Errors

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 00:00:00 +0000

It began when I checked my emails and saw a email from TrueNAS it told me that one of my drives had failed and the pool was degraded. When I investigated I saw that the drive only had 13 errors but since I had 6 drives I wasn’t using I decided to swap it out I passed through another 2 drives and began the replacement tool. It took around three hours but went smoothly with the pool up the entire time.

TrueNAS speed up

Sat, 09 Mar 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Today I decided to label my drives as while I know what they are on a software level I have no record of what slot is what letter and that is not the sort of thing you want to figure out during a drive death. So I began ripping out each drive one by one presuming I will be fine everything is either raidz2 or a 4 way mirror. I had done about 7 when I missclicked onto my truenas vm and saw the web ui was completely frozen at this point I was having a mild heart attack as my only other copy was on onedrive which only contained the most important files.

Removing My Applications Dataset

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000

So I recently tried to remove my Application Dataset on my TrueNAS scale NAS. It was just annoying seeing it constantly when i didn’t have any applications running through TrueNAS so went to remove it and it said it was busy. I thought that can’t be right I know there are no applications installed so I spent a while online and found out how to force remove the dataset and I did.

TrueNAS Install

Tue, 26 Dec 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The install for TrueNAS was very simple as it was something i had practiced multiple times as a VM on my PC to mess around with smb shares. I decided to install scale as the choice between core and scale seemed very easy for me as i felt that while core was a small bit faster scale had a far more promising future and had plenty of people working to improve its speed.
