I just received a controller based on the ASM1062 chipset (ST LAB A-590). It has two internal mini-SAS connectors SFF-8087 and accomodates 8 drives in total.

It detects all drives when booting into Windows 11, but it cannot be configured in BIOS due to my MB chipset not supporting legacy option rom properly. I connected it to a different system forcing legacy BIOS (non-UEFI) and it is configurable there.

I am only intending to use this controller as an HBA.

Hello guys,
I'm using TrueNAS last two years, so I can say I'm quite new on this system. Few weeks ago I noticed that two of the disks started showing some errors on read status, because of this the pool goes to unhealthy state, but if I reboot it again goes to healthy.

I know that ZFS will try to self-heal the filesystem, but I'm not sure how to handle this situation.
For instance, in the past I used QNAP and when there is a issue with the disk, it simply mark it as offline...

Hi everyone!

I need help to understand what is going on with my freenas memory usage. After a reboot the nas memory is normal but over time Services increases to the point that almost entire Nas is consumed (see image below)

I only have one jail with MiniDLNA and one ubuntu virtual machine with 4GB memory allocated. Can someone help me investigate why Services are consuming so much?

I'm running a system based on a Dell T1700 with 24GB memory.

Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this?

Hello

I recently build a new storage server with TrueNAS Scale which works great so far.
But I have a strange problem with the mapping of the disks to their physical slots.
All disks are shown in the same enclosure/slot. It also changes from time to time.
I've seen 2/56 and 2/8 so far.

This is not really a big problem, because all works so far.
But the IPMI (HP iLO) shows some strange Mapping too, and I can't use sas2ircu to flash the bay LEDs.

Are there some settings to change this...

I recently configured a NAS server for media sharing purposes, then tried both scale and core on it.

Hardware configuration.

Mobo : Asrock X570 Taichi

RAM : Corsair Vengeance 128 GB RAM

Both Server and client use 9000 Jumbo frames.
8 X 12 TB HDD is in raidz2 config.
