    Failed to start zfs-import-scan.service

    Has anyone got any ideas? I've tried nothin and I'm all outta ideas. Was swapping the motherboard and CPU a bad idea? What does the '-f' in zpool import -f RAID do? I found another link for a related problem but unsure on whether running those commands would break something.

    My screen goes black when Installing Please help

    Have you tried a different USB port or a different USB? They would be my first go-to. Sorry if this suggestion sounds stupid.

    Failed to start zfs-import-scan.service

    I did! My brothers CPU and motherboard has 2 more cores and 4 more threads that I thought virtualization would better utilize coupled with his 32GB of RAM. I had a feeling something like this would happen by switching something as major as that. But I just didn't know what to do to get it back...

    Failed to start zfs-import-scan.service

    Hi All, I'm getting this error which is preventing me from booting up the rest of the OS so I can't reach the web GUI. I'm a total noob when it comes to this stuff so I did a quick google search to find some commands that might help me and this is the output: If there are some commands that...

    PBS Limit or Exclude VM Volume

    Sorry, I'm a bit dense - I'm in the exact same scenario: I have TrueNAS in a VM and I want to back it up because the update from 7 to 8 says I should back up my VMs. But when I go to back it up, the only option I get is the whole VM including the passthrough disks and it tries to back up 20TB...

    TrueNAS Migration/ZFS HDD Passthrough

    Hi Bob, my motherboard has 2 x m.2 slots. However, if I am using all 6 SATA connectors (which I am), the second m.2 slot doesn't work - it's a shortcoming of the board and I am guessing the chipset. Not to worry though, because I did it last night with absolutely no problems! I swapped out the...

    TrueNAS Migration/ZFS HDD Passthrough

    Hi Dunuin, the disks that are booted from are LVM-Thin but the data in TrueNAS is in ZFS. There might not be an update on this one for another week or so because I had two ideas: I could 1. Wing it. Do a fresh install of Proxmox, restore the TrueNAS VM, re-attach the drives through passthrough...

    TrueNAS Migration/ZFS HDD Passthrough

    Hi, I can't seem to find a definitive answer to this question: I bought a 500GB replacement boot hard drive that runs my Proxmox VMs because my current one is 256GB and I have run out of space. My TrueNAS VM has 8 x 4TB drives which are all connected to the VM through passthrough. Is there a...

    Changing VMID of a VM

    I am new to both Linux and Proxmox so I apologise in advance for my complete lack of knowledge and needing to be hand-fed everything. I have figured out how to get my vgNAME, but the 3 variables I need to replace in that script are they just the ones on the top line? Or do I need to replace...
