UPDATE EDIT:
Man it is crazy to watch the dashboard and console at the time. Even with no HDD’s spinning, and as much RAM as I can give the Scale VM, services just slowly takes over the RAM, until the console shows kernel panic.
core was solid for so long with everything i threw at it.
it runs out of memory after services soaks up all the RAM, ZFS cache is choked down to 3gb out of 16.
- xeon E3 1265LV2
- Asus p8z77-v-deluxe
- 32GB DDR3
- hba passed through to truenas running a mirror pool
VM for truenas is running on the local proxmox SSD.
- proxmox 9.1.1
- TrueNAS scale 25.10.0.1 but i tried a 24 version also
once the install starts crashing, the VM will still crash after booting up without the HBA card
I’ve seen a few posts with other people having the out of memory issues (OOM) but almost every reply says it will be fixed in the next update, which is older than what we’ve got now.
it did run okay enough JUST long enough to make the mistake of updating the ZFS flags, so now i can’t roll back to core.
does scale have this issue because it’s virtualized? would it run better on bare metal?
anyone tried xigmaNAS? freeBSD based again at least.
Unraid looks okay, but paywall?
open media vault?
any advice or discussion is appreciated!
btw, i tried to add two HDDs today and sata passthrough didn’t allow me to create a new pool despite them showing up in truenas. something about duplicate serial numbers and such. i then decided to pass through my cpus sata controller (proxmox and the truenas virtual boot drive run off nvme). rebooted proxmox and it worked. all drives detected and functional (after removing their individual passthrough because proxmox couldn’t find them as it didn’t have access to the sata controller anymore)
