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!

BSD isn't really being maintained. It gets contributions once and a while but the vast majority of development happens on Linux.

That’s certainly true in terms of TrueNAS Core, but FreeBSD itself is quite active (15.0-RELEASE dropped this month), as are the others BSDs.

All I know is that iX systems said that they might drop core since BSD isn't nearly as well maintained as Linux.

If I remember correctly, that was largely in consideration of the large corpus of docker-packaged projects that could be used as a pre-built app ecosystem. That makes a lot of sense for anyone who really wants an appliance-like all-in-one system with minimal setup.
