I’m so over this seemingly endless blind trial and error I’m wondering if I should just reconfigure my NAS from scratch (minus the pools which I can just reattach) - but setup the shares and scheduled tasks and what-have-you from scratch again. Is there any downside besides time and effort to doing this that should give me pause or other considerations I should make before doing so? Are there any shortcuts?
I ran into some major problems after upgrading to TrueNAS 12.0 from FreeNAS 11.3 and trying to add a plugin.
My TrueNAS install became un-bootable and would swamp the network with unknown traffic*. I was seeing a stream of

- I cloned the original flash drive to it (FAILED).
- I installed TrueNAS 12.0 to it (WORKED)
- upgraded to TrueNAS 12.1 (WORKED)
- and restored the previous configuration (FAILED)
- then an fresh installed 12.0 again and restored an earlier configuration (WORKED)
