Just migrated most of Babb storage to Minio. Then I created some tasks so that I get things backed up.

So much better to have control over our own storage...

Today I migrated my TrueNAS Core server to a new motherboard and processor. Barring a brief hiccup where 2 of the data disks were disabled (by using an NVMe slot) all appeared well.

The onboard network card was incredibly unhappy though, with pings varying between 10ms and 10 full seconds. A few minutes of searching and I found the simple fix - two tunables instructing it to load a more recent driver on boot.

After doing that? Everything's peachy!

I wish the work they've done could be pushed upstream so that FreeBSD-based TrueNAS doesn't disappear.

I wish companies would throw their weight behind FreeBSD rather than abandon it. As prominent examples, AMD and Intel could support their graphics chips rather than letting volunteers write code for them, and MediaTek could support their wifi chips.

I live in hope that I will be pleasantly surprised...

The serial terminal emulator was painful - I needed to log in every few minutes or even if I switched tab!

I liked the idea of having official apps instead of community plugins, but with this experience I'm not convinced it's ready for my particular use case.

I'm disappointed that iX "has no plans for a FreeBSD 14-based release". I like the stability that CORE provides, and the jail system is clear and simple.

Anyone ever used #TrueNAS_Core or #xcp_ng as #hypervisor ?

How well are they working for hosting VMs?
