iXsystems is pleased to announce the general availability of TrueNAS 12.0-U8.1!

For those with FreeNAS installed on your system, we recommend updating or upgrading to FreeNAS 11.3-U5 first and then upgrading to TrueNAS 12.0-U8 with a single click to retain roll-back options. While it is an easy web update, we do recommend waiting to update your system’s zpool feature flags until you are finished validating your performance and functionality.

For those with TrueNAS HA systems and support contracts, we recommend contacting iXsystems Support to schedule an upgrade. We will verify your system health, configuration, and support the upgrade process as part of the “white glove” service that comes with any support contract.

Contacting TrueNAS Enterprise Support

Customers who purchase TrueNAS hardware or that want additional support must have a support contract to use TrueNAS Support Services. The TrueNAS Community forums provides free support for users without a TrueNAS Support contract.

TrueNAS 12.0-U8.1 Changelog

Bug

[NAS-114724] - Minio Service does not start from UI
[NAS-115143] - Boot hangs in Hyper-V with passed-though LSI HBA
[NAS-115532] - net/netatalk3 - fix multiple CVEs
[NAS-115556] - Merge FreeBSD SA-22:02-03 EN-22:08

Known Issues

Key	Summary	Workaround
NAS-113284	Samba CVE-2021-20316: Symlink race error can allow metadata read and modify outside of the exported share.	Do not enable SMB1 (this is disabled by default in TrueNAS 11.2 and later). If SMB1 must be enabled for backwards compatibility then add the auxiliary parameter: `unix extensions = no` to the Services > SMB configuration form and restart the service. For versions prior to TrueNAS 13.0, we recommend only exporting areas of the file system by either SMB2 or NFS, not both.
Minio Project: Certificate errors in distributed mode with docker compose	Wild card certificates do not work with Minio	Reset the Minio domain configuration to localhost when the Minio SAN/CN configuration is empty except for a wildcard domain.
	Asigra Plugin Upgrades	Asigra users running version 14.2.0.2 or earlier requires a TrueNAS CLI upgrade procedure to update to a new plugin version. In the TrueNAS web interface, open the Shell and enter `iocage upgrade asigra-plugin-name`, replacing `asigra-plugin-name` with whatever unique name was created for the plugin.
NAS-106992	Persistent L2ARC is disabled by default.	While the underlying issues have been fixed, this setting continues to be disabled by default for additional performance investigation. To manually reactivate persistent L2ARC, log in to the TrueNAS Web Interface, go to System > Tunables, and add a new tunable with these values: Type = `sysctl` Variable = `vfs.zfs.l2arc.rebuild_enabled` Value = `1`
	TrueNAS "root" user account cannot be an SMB user.	This is an intentional change to improve software security and suitability for deployment in a variety of environments. Update the SMB configuration to use a different user account.

Samba CVE Notice

“All versions of Samba prior to 4.13.17 are vulnerable to an out-of-bounds heap read write vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code as root on affected Samba installations that use the VFS module vfs_fruit.

The specific flaw exists within the parsing of EA metadata when opening files in smbd. Access as a user that has write access to a file’s extended attributes is required to exploit this vulnerability. Note that this could be a guest or unauthenticated user if such users are allowed write access to file extended attributes.

The problem in vfs_fruit exists in the default configuration of the fruit VFS module using fruit:metadata=netatalk or fruit:resource=file. If both options are set to different settings than the default values, the system is not affected by the security issue.”

Source: CVE-2022-44142

The CVE does not affect TrueNAS in its default configuration. However, it does impact configurations where users have opted to share same paths via AFP and SMB simultaneously. We recommend users upgrade to 12.0-U8 as soon as possible to eliminate this security risk.

TrueNAS Virtualized with ESXi

2026-02-03 08:38 EST

This article describes deploying a TrueNAS virtual machine (VM) in a VMWare ESXi environment. ESXi version 8 is shown in this article.

Before You Begin

Before starting configuration work in VMWare:

Allocate a drive or a few drives in your server cluster for the TrueNAS virtual machine. The anticipated storage needs for your deployment determines the size and number of drives you need.
Download the .iso file from the TrueNAS.com downloads page.
Visit the TrueNAS hardware guide and take note of the minimum system requirements. Note the information in the Memory and Storage Device Sizing sections.

The hardware guide provides guidance on how much memory, the number of CPUs, and drive size you need to configure.
Determine your data storage requirements. Consider the number of storage pools and the type of storage you need for your deployment or how you plan to use the TrueNAS. See Setting Up Storage for information on pool layouts.

Determine the number of virtual hard drives (vmdks) you want to create when setting up your virtual machine. For example, if you want a mirror layout you need to add a minimum of three drives, one for the boot drive and two for the mirrored storage. If you want a mirror with a hot spare, you need to add a minimum of four drives, one for the boot drive, two for the mirrored storage and one for the hot spare.
Configure your network per your system requirements. Have the information ready when you configure your TrueNAS global network settings in the web interface.

Deploying TrueNAS in VMWare ESXi

Launch your VMware ESXi interface using your login credentials.

Figure 1: VMWare ESXi Login Screen

Setting Up Storage

Set up the storage needed for the new VM. First click on Storage and then the drive allocated for TrueNAS. Create the datastore directories for the ISO media and the TrueNAS virtual machine.

Need more help setting up storage? Click here.

Select Storage on the navigation panel on the left side of the screen.

Figure 2: Storage Datastores Tab
Select the drive you allocated for the TrueNAS VM. The example uses DS-1. The detailed view for this drive displays.

Figure 3: Select Datastore Browser
Click Datastore Browser to open the browser window, and then click Create directory. Enter the name of the directory in the New Directory dialog.

Figure 4: New Directory

Add two directories. The first directory is for TrueNAS storage needs the other for the TrueNAS .iso file you downloaded. Choose a name that is easy to identify on a list of virtual machines. The example uses truenas 1 as the directory name for the storage needs. Click Create directory in the New directory dialog to create the directory.

Click Create directory again to open the New directory dialog to create the second new directory. When finished you should have both directories listed in the Datastore Browser window.

Figure 5: Datastore Browser with New Directories

Uploading the TrueNAS ISO

After creating the ISO directory, upload the TrueNAS .iso file to the ISO directory.

Select the directory created for the .iso file and then click Upload.

Figure 6: Upload TrueNAS ISO File

Creating the Virtual Machine

After setting up the storage needs, create the new virtual machine. Select Virtual Machines on the navigation panel on the left side of the screen.

Figure 7: Virtual Machines Screen

Select the storage drive for the TrueNAS VM and then click Create/Register VM. The New virtual machine creation wizard displays. Use these settings:

On the Select a name and guest OS wizard screen, select Linux for Guest OS family and then Debian GNU/Linux 6 (64-bit) on the Guest OS Version dropdown list.
On the Customize settings wizard screen set CPU to 2, set Memory to 16 GB, and Hard disk 1 to 16 GB.

You need a minimum of two drives set to at least 16 GB. To add a drive, click Add hard disk.

You can add more hard drive now or use the Edit option to add drives later after saving the new virtual machine. To create a mirror layout you need at least three hard drives, one for boot and two to create the mirrored storage. Add as many hard drives as you need to create your desired storage layout. You can add more drives later after you install TrueNAS.

Need more help using the ESXi VM Wizard? Click here.

To create the virtual machine for your TrueNAS, from the Virtual Machines screen:

Click Create/Register VM to display the configuration wizard. On the Select creation type screen select Create a new virtual machine and then click Next.

Figure 8: Create New Virtual Machine
Configure the VM name and guest OS settings. Type the name for the TrueNAS VM. Use the name you gave the new directory. The example uses truenas1.

Figure 9: Select Name and Guest OS

Select Linux for Guest OS family and then Debian GNU/Linux 6 (64-bit) on the Guest OS Version dropdown list.

Click Next
Select the storage drive you allocated for the TrueNAS VM. The example uses DS-1. Click Next

Figure 10: Select Storage
Enter these settings in the Customize settings screen.

Figure 11: Customize Settings

Setting Value Description

CPU 2

Memory 8 GB

Hard disk 1 16 GB. This first disk is the boot disk.

  Figure 12: Add Hard Disk
  
  In the New Hard disk row set the disk to 16 GB at a minimum.
  
  Click on the New Hard disk row to expand it. If the Location field does not display the drive and directory you created for TrueNAS, click Browse to open the Select directory window and select the directory for your TrueNAS deployment. Click on Select to change the location and close the Select directory window and return to the VM wizard screen.
  
  Change any other disk drive settings you want or need to change for your hard disk drive hardware.
  
  If needed, click Add hard disk again to add more hard drives if you want to equip your VM with more than the minimum required number of drives.
  
  In order to prevent potential errors when importing your pool, a custom parameter should be set to allow VMware to provide serial numbers for virtual hard disks. Click on the VM Options tab, and then click on Advanced to expand this section. Next to the Configuration Parameters section, click on Edit Configuration. Click Add parameter. In the Key column, enter disk.EnableUUID and enter TRUE in the Value column. Click OK.
  
  Click Next to finish creating the VM. You can use the Edit option later to add more drives to support your TrueNAS deployment.
  
  Each storage layout has different disk minimum disk requirements. See Setting Up Storage for information on pool layouts.
2. Review the Ready to Complete screen to verify the settings are correct for your deployment.
  
  Figure 13: Ready to Complete
  
  Click Finish. The new TrueNAS VM displays on the list of virtual machines.

TrueNAS 11.2-U8.1 is a hotpatch release that fixes issues with the error reporting system and ALUA port detection. TrueNAS 11.2-U8 documentation continues to apply to TrueNAS 11.2-U8.1.

iXsystems is pleased to announce the availability of TrueNAS 11.2-U8! This is primarily a bug fix release to address some remaining issues in the 11.2-STABLE train and prepare TrueNAS users for an important incoming change to AD/LDAP connectivity when using Microsoft Windows.

Before updating, contact iXsystems Technical Support for a pre-update health check and to answer any technical questions regarding this update. You can contact Support by calling 1-855-GREP-4-iX or emailing support@ixsystems.com.

Known Impacts

The default ACL on new Windows datasets was changed from:

owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@:rxaRc:fd:allow

to:

owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd:allow everyone@::fd:allow

This means that world is no longer being granted read privileges by default on newly created SMB shares. If you need to add “read” to “world” on a newly-created dataset, run the command:

setfacl -m everyone@:rxaRc:fd:allow /mnt/path/to/dataset

Known Issues

TrueNAS NFSv4 exports do not work in a VMWare cluster at this time. NFSv3 will need to be used as a work-around.

The hubiC cloud service has suspended creation of new accounts.

The Mega cloud service is currently broken. The new version of rclone which fixes this will be available in 11.3.

When performing an update on HA systems, the “Apply Pending Updates” button does not apply the update. Instead, select the “Check Now” option.

If the email address configured in Services > S.M.A.R.T. > Email differs from the root user email address configured in Account > Users, only the root user email address will receive an email alert when there is a S.M.A.R.T. failure. If these email addresses need to differ, the workaround is to configure System > Alert Services.
