Hello all

for the last 3 weeks I am having tons of issue installing and configuring and trunas scale on proxmox 9. I followed religiously to steps on video from youtube

Everything was working fine for over 3 years on proxmox 8 (except when i screw up. which i did).

3 week ago there was a massive thunderstorm and this corrupted my main server (dell R720) which i had to rebuild from scratch at this time.

Therefore i decided to install proxmox 9 and created the vms (home assistant and truenas scale) and everything was working fine for a week.

Then calamity struck again. Theis time i can no longer login to my truenas web interface.

I proceeded to stop remove the vm and create a new vm and re-install the latest trunas scale iso

3 errors show up during the installation.

The only one i can see is ipa epn fail

then i get the vm menu and the ip address.

i shutdown the vm and remove the iso disk before it start the vm again
and it boots fime

I log into the ip address and the first thing i do is I set the network environment (WORKGROUP) and change the DHCP ip top a static one.
I add myself as a user with the builtin administrator as a group

I log into the web page with the new ip address and with my new credentials and all works fine.

I stop the VM and attach my disks (7 disk in 2 vdevs) using qm set 104 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/scsi-35000cca2552266a0 in the pve shell

I start the vm and log into the web interface page
I add the pool (media) and start creating my datasets (document music apps etc) all as Samba share.

In services i did enable and configure the smb and nfs services. Usually once this is donne I reboot the vm.

However since the lasted debacle every time i do this i no longer can reach the vm web interface.

I look at the vm console and i see the vm started with the correct ip address is shown

however after a few seconds an error appears in the console

fail to start mndb.servece samba nmb daemon

I stopped and removed the vm several times from pve and created a new one every time from scratch
and same situation occurs.

I searched the net and i found a post to add min the console service samba.server restart i tried this
and i got

failed to start samba.service.server unit samba.service.server not found

What am i doing wrong and how do i fix it? should i go back to ver proxmox 8.x?

thank you in advance
