Update from TrueNAS 12 U8 to U8.1 stuks at 66,67%

[Nordlicht-13]

My TrueNAS says that there is an Update.
When I start this update it downloads the file and starts installation,
but it just gets to 66,67% of the base-os installation.
I was hoping to speed TrueNAS up. My SMBs on Windows 10 work fine
after a fresh start of the system. But when I leave the system for
a couple of hours or oveer night I come back to work with the
file on the NAS, the system is realy slow and I have to reboot
to get a workingspeed again.


This is the message I get when I start the Update:

Update
66.67%
Installing base-os (1/3)


Under System->Boot I already got listed several entrys:

Delete all the U8.1 failed environments, reboot and try again.
What is the boot device ?

 

[Nordlicht-13]

Can't select
12.0-U8.1-3 / Reboot / 2022-04-19 15:35:00 / 1.20 GiB / no
to delete it.

Just tried to clone this and it says: [EFAULT] Failed to create boot environment: ERROR: Boot environment 'temp' does not exist

Is there a way to get rid of this at the shell?

 

[Alecmascot]

Change its status from reboot and you can delete it.
One environment needs to be "reboot"

 

[Nordlicht-13]

Deleting the entry now works, Update still stucks at 66,67% of the base-os

 

[Nordlicht-13]

Just checked the boot-page again.
Size is slowly decreasing, so I guest it's a read/write problem
that slows the system down and it takes forever to write the base-os

I'd save your existing config in case it's a boot media problem.

You might try downloading the U8.1 ISO, booting from ISO, and installing as an update (i.e. not a fresh install).

Installing as an update will create a new boot environment and migrate your config. Just make sure to delete any failed boot environments so there is sufficient boot-pool space.

Thanks I will try that tonight.
Just checked again under boot, 12.0-U8.1 is growing with 0,35 MB/min (Took over 2 hours for the 1.2 GB)
With this speed TrueNAS is no fun.
What is dragging TrueNAS down? How can I find out what is causing this slowdown?

Just started an update via iso on USB-Stick.
Got this message:

ada0 is a ssd connected to a PCIe SATA-Controler.
Why do I get this message?

Now upgrade and fresh installation (with formating boot device)
I still have the old installation from February without any change running.

 

[Nordlicht-13]

Now I removed unused ada3 and installed 12-U8.1 via USB-Stick.
Now I have 5-10 MB/s write and read speed. No fun at all.

the peak around 95 MB/s is a fio test
Now, this morning, the speed dropped to 3 MB/s
