TrueNAS SCALE 23.10-BETA.1 has been released!

[eturgeon]

We are pleased to release TrueNAS SCALE 23.10-BETA.1! This is codenamed "Cobia".

This early release is intended for testing and early feedback purposes only. Do not use this early-release software for critical tasks.

There are many new features and continued improvements to the TrueNAS SCALE experience:

• Apps redesigned: an overhaul of apps screens and backend improvements provides a more complete experience.
• Storage Pool creation redesign: provides more details about pool configuration and supports larger SCALE deployments.
• Drive count optimizations: SCALE 23.10 allows up to 1255 disks, or more than 25PB, under management on a single system.
• Samba update and speed improvements
• Simplified feedback and bug reporting.
• Linux Kernel 6.1 and improved Hardware Support.
• OpenZFS 2.2 with many iXsystems contributions.
• NVIDIA 535.54.03 Driver Updates.
• SCALE Enterprise: iSCSI ALUA support is added to TrueNAS SCALE Enterprise.
• System service replacements: many system services that were built into SCALE Bluefin are rebuilt as optional TrueNAS SCALE applications.
• System reporting has been overhauled and now uses Netdata as the backend to provide system statistics to the Reporting screens.
• Pause / Unpause ZFS Scrub Controls.
• ZFS Block Cloning (Deduplication) for SMB & NFS file copies (requires a pool upgrade for pools created in previous major versions before 23.10).

See the Release Notes for more details.

Excited to test this out this week!

So much for SCALE-out... that's an awful lot of SCALE-UP... I wonder who will be able to test it that far.

Certainly not me. The wife is already on me about my electrical usage :P

What, you mean you don't have a system with 1200+ drives sitting in your rack??? :)

 

[HoneyBadger]

Well somebody's got to test that "Z" for "Zettabyte" after all

Not without SSDs or a jumbo rack that's 56U tall. Though maybe it's time to buy a crapload of promo-grade USB flash drives and have ZFS make them vaguely-reliable, Sun-style.

Lot of interesting updates. I'm gonna sit this one out and wait for RC1 but I'm anxious to test it out!

Updated successfully with 10+ apps.

No issues that I can see.

I’m not a big fan of the new “Discover Apps” section but oh well.

Feel free to expand on criticism of "Discover Apps".... what is just dislike and what is problematic?

It’s just my overall taste. I liked the apps all being on one screen with all the buttons in one place. Less button clicking…

 

[Rumen Petrov]

Looks really nice but I'll also wait for RC1. Did anyone tested any Intel Arc GPUs already?

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

Will TrueCharts continue to work?

 

[victort]

Will TrueCharts continue to work?

All my apps are working.

 

[NoyingNabi]

Will Intel's ARC GPUs work at all?

 

[IndieCoopz]

Will there be a function to cancel or pause running tasks at some point?

Intel Arc GPU missing from Apps

I recently picked up an Intel Arc A380 and installed into my TrueNAS-SCALE-Bluefin system, however have been unable to allocate it to apps and instead it is showing the GPU resource as an "nvidia.com/gpu" configuration instead. Previously I have ran a nvidia 30 series card to test the hardware...

The new App interface is *slick*

 

[LarsR]

Just did the upgrade and really like the new app interface. Are the metrics on the apps interface supposed to already work?
Because my apps all show N/A for CPU RAM and DISK usage.
