The UI should offer you the STABLE version now. Are you still only seeing the nightlies?

Adding additional drives to a RAIDZ vdev has been investigated for a long time. I do not believe any of the ZFS developers at iXsystems or elsewhere are pursuing this as a current high priority. To answer your question in a realistic way (rather than simply hopeful) I’d say “Much later, possibly never”.

So CORE does not have it in the UI. The TrueNAS Enterprise license is required to expose it on the UI.

Thank you for your support, Robert! That means a lot to us and is appreciated greatly. We’re so glad that FreeNAS has been able to aid you in the creative sector.
Again, thank you very much for your support. Keep calm and TrueNAS on!

I have worked with FreeBSD and FreeNAS for years now in the creative sector and have no complains. Even when using it on other Hardware as iX-braneded ones.
I support creatives and small companies. FreeNAS has always played an important role there and did the best job in the network.
Thank you for all the work with FreeNAS.
Keep on your good work and I will try to support you with reports or ideas for TrueNAS CORE.

Thank you for your support, Jarred.

I’m so happy 7 or 8 Years ago I chose your software to go with, many times I find myself picking a software for a company to either go out of business or change where a free or perpetual license is no longer a perpetual license.

Yes, nothing is removed. NVDIMMs will work in CORE. However, in the enterprise version, we manage them and make HA possible.

Hi Joon
I’ve read the blog but no where in article explaining how development process will work.
From article
“There will be two different editions: TrueNAS CORE and TrueNAS Enterprise. Without any license keys, TrueNAS CORE provides all the same, unrestricted FreeNAS functionality you know and love, while the source code will still be Open Source and forever free to use. TrueNAS Enterprise will enable an extended feature set using a license key on supported platforms. This move elevates FreeNAS to the enterprise-grade quality levels of TrueNAS to further cement its position as the world’s #1 Open Storage OS”

Hi there Rafael,
Yes, TrueNAS SCALE is the Linux variant. Are you asking if you could upgrade from FreeNAS 11.3 straight to TrueNAS SCALE?

I heard TrueNAS 12 will be able to also run on Debian 11. Will it be possible to move the FreeNAS 11.3 installation to the TrueNAS 12 Debian edition?
Thanks for FreeNAS, it’s awesome!

Are you blocking all use of FiberChannel for TrueNAS core users?

I use both FreeNAS and TrueNAS (I’ve purchased several M40 servers so far), and I’m even happier about purchasing from you with the TrueNAS Core announcement. It’s great to see, considering how many dual open/commercial entities slowly migrate toward punishing the community offerings or abandoning it.
Keep it up! I keep pushing your enterprise solutions in my company because they’re very well made, well thought out, and your support is absolutely top notch … but I wouldn’t be as much of an advocate if I didn’t have the “cheap seats” to use at home and try different scenarios.
