So I've made my own NAS that has a bunch of other functions on CentOS and it's becoming less stable, locks up sometimes with a kernel panic, tried all of the available kernels and none work well, now the bootloader is corrupted. I'm thinking of switching to TrueNAS but I'm used to Linux, not Unix.
Specs:
Ryzen 3600
MSI MAG B550M Mortar (Realtek RTL8125B NIC)
16 GB RAM
Nvidia GT 710 (basic video out when needed)
Samsung 980 Pro SSD 500 GB (boot drive)
Samsung 500 GB (write cache)
3x Seagate Ironwolf 6TB (mdadm raid 1)
WD USB 12 TB HDD (offline backup for the raid files)
This thing runs samba, ssh, plex, pihole, wordpress, nginx, and a few other services. I was thinking I could run truenas on the base metal with the seagate drives in a zfs pool (with the ssd write caching) and setup a VM with ubuntu for any services I cannot run in the unix system.
Any hints? Is this possible? What roadblocks should I expect? Should I go with version 12 or 13? Whats the best way to get the mdadm raid files into the zpool?
