Hello, I hate opening an account to ask newbie question, but I can't find an example answer (although I'm sure this has beed discussed already many times - so, my apologies). I want to know what is better between two options, before I do something and regret later. Let's say I have Proxmox on...

I installed Proxmox and Installed Truenas as a VM. Inside Truenas shared a Folder (Samba) that I want to use as repository for my DB. In another server installed Mariadb and mounted this Truenas Shared folder. Everything was great until I tried to change the folder owner. chown doesn´t work no...

I'm having issues mounting a NFS share on a PVE cluster. The initial mapping works but after some time I get connection issues and multiple retries. My PVE cluster is running with two nodes both with the same version and having 172.16.10.2 and 172.16.10.6 IP addresses. The TrueNas is configured...

I'm not sure if I can solve my problem. So recently I bought the DeskMeet X300 case with Ryzen 7 4750G, 64GB RAM ECC and 2x12TB HDD drives. My goal was to virtualize TrueNAS with HDD passthrough and another VM with Batocera with iGPU passthrough for emulation. The probem is that when I run VM...

Hi all, very new to Proxmox, home servers etc, so please accept my apologies upfront for any frustration I may cause I promise I've tried 'googling' everything first for a solid few hours. In Short: I've set up a home server on a thin client with external HDD, Set up Proxmox to run on the...

Hi All, I am new to Proxmox and need some help with how to attach or add all my usb external storage, in my case I use "ORICO-3559C3" with 5-bays HDD drive. My goal is to provide ZFS storage to the VMs in Proxmox (with TrueNAS-Scale), I have VM 100 with TrueNAS Scale 22.12 on My Baremetal...

My build started off a as an Unraid server but I'm now reconsidering going back to an earlier idea of running Promox as my hyper visor. Right now I have the CPU/MOBO/RAM and 4x NVME drives. In the coming weeks I plan on purchasing the HBA controller along with 8-12 SAS drives. I'm looking for...

Hi, I'm thinking about setting a truenas VM on a proxmox server and scenarios which I can choose for that job. On proxmox installation I have a ZFS raid10 pool for VM storage. I would create a VM for the truenas, but what would be the best option for the truenas storage? Scenario #1: One...

I want to passthrough a dedicated 10G nic port to my truenas scale setup. I typically setup the static ip address by mapping a mac address to the static ip in my dhcp server. Not sure how this will work with the passthrough nic. I know the mac address of the NIC port. However, not sure where...

Hello I have a Dell R740 server which has a PCIe backplane extender for nvme drives. I am looking to passthrough the extender to a truenas install . When I go to add PCIe device for the truenas vm, I don't see the extender listed though I can see it when I do an lspci on the proxmox node...

Hallo all, Short question about my TrueNAS vm. According to this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4DLChRXJog cache for log is speeding-up the performance. I dont have a complete nvme drive left to passtrough but could or should i use an virtual-disk for this job? Thnx in advance!

New Proxmox user here. I have a Proxmox Node (call it Node 1) that has numerous hard drive bays and just added another node from an older Optiplex 7010 SFF with 4 cores, 32GB RAM and is very limited on the number of drives I can install (call it Node 2). Currently I have TrueNAS installed on...

Hi, I recently just completed building my home server and was trying to setup a TrueNAS VM. The only problem that I'm having is that the HDDs are not appearing within the TrueNAS installation setup. When I go back to proxmox I can see all three disks. I was wondering if there was a...

The need for a better file sharing solution has arisen here at home. :) I checked out Techno Tims YT where he virtualizes FreeNAS and under hardware he adds a PCI device, the LSI disk device. Let me back up some... I am running Proxmox on a Dell PE R720, one ZFS Pool. If I were to add the LSI...

I want to perform a backup to my lxc container from my TrueNAS manually. What are the files that sould i back them? is the disk file (.raw) sufficient or there are other file ? Thank you

So I have a trueNAS VM that handles my NFS. I also have an LXC-unprivileged container with Jellyfin etc. I want to be able to mount the NFS inside the container to use as media storage. NO w from what I have read mounting NFS shares in privileged containers is currently not possible. The...

Hi All, I'm running TrueNas within Proxmox 7.2-3 on a Dell T630 server. Within TrueNas, I'm using four pass-through drives (da1, da2, da3, and da4). I'm trying to reduce power consumption and temps on my server, so within the TrueNas UI, I set each disk to spin down after 20 mins and to use...

My current NAS setup has Proxmox VE running on bare metal and TrueNAS Scale running in a VM. I created a zfs pool "appspool" from the UI: Datacenter -> Storage -> Add -> ZFS I then created a TrueNAS scale VM and passed through the disk qm set 900 --scsi2...

Hi. I'm currently doing some tests with Proxmox and TrueNAS (both on dedicated machines connected via 10gbit) and looking at the Proxmox backup function got me thinking: Would it make any sense to send uncompressed Backups to a TrueNAS volume with ZSTD compression (instead of doing the ZSTD...
