Dataset snapshots are not deleting, even though they are set too

[gswhiteuk]

Hi everyone,

thanks for taking the time to read.

I have various snapshots set with different retention periods for my various datasets. However, when I manually examine the snapshots, none of the snapshots for the datasets are set to expire?

Upon checking, all my datasets are set not to be destroyed.

Is there something I am doing wrong, or is this as per design or another issue, please?

appreciate anyone's help and advice?

thanks
Gary

Which version of SCALE is this? Perhaps it's an unfinished feature, and it's not correctly calculating the expiration date?

Hi there.

TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.3.3

I believe I’m on the latest version

 

[winnielinnie]

It honestly seems like a bug.

 

[gswhiteuk]

Yes I’m inclined to agree. I’m new to TrueNAS. This is my first time server if you like

But it seems to me that there is a disconnect somewhere between instruction and actual execution.

As a free user is there a place to report this or is this the only forum?

Core is more mature and feature-stable. SCALE is still growing into itself.

As a free user is there a place to report this or is this the only forum?

There's the Jira tracker for reporting bugs and feature requests:

TrueNAS - Issues - iXsystems TrueNAS Jira

ixsystems.atlassian.net

I would report it for you, but I use Core (not SCALE), so I wouldn't be able to follow-up with any feedback.

Excellent thanks very much. I’ll report the issue and see what comes back

Apparently there was another report of the incorrect date being displayed for a snapshot's retention, yet the operation itself pruned the snapshots at the correct time.

In your case it's not displaying an inaccurate date: it's just outright saying it won't be pruned.

Yes, I think what I will do is wait for the first snapshots to expire and see if the data remains. Then report if the issue is real.

Thanks very much for your help
