I did a clean install on my test system, worked just great. My only issue was the default NTP servers failed to work, I deleted those four included and entered my personal preference that I'd been using for years. Now I think I'm ready to give the system a real test drive. I'm sure there will be problems, I just hope it stays in RC status until those larger problems are addressed, do I need to remind folks of FreeNAS 10.
Great job to everyone who worked this project.
Sorry to hear you are having multiple issues with the pre-release SCALE. Its a worthwhile warning to all users that SCALE quality is not yet nearly a peer of CORE. Use CORE where you need a hassle free experience.
I'd recommend prioritizing the issues and starting a thread on each issue. If the issue is not resolvable and may be a bug, please "report a bug" and post the bug ID in the thread.
@trivi I suggest you do the same.
I can't use Core with my server. I don't know why, but after a while the NIC completely disconnects and I'm locked out, because only a reboot will get the NIC back to live. That's not a hardware issue, the problem is, that my Primergy S2 server NIC seems not compatible with FreeBSD based systems. That's a bug. On debian I have no problems.
So don't get me wrong, I would really like to use truenas, it's a great product, but I can't use Core because of the NIC bug and scale is full of bugs, it's not usable? I mean RC2 is called as the final release candidate before the final version?! I did a clean install and have the following issues:
The web GUI starts to lag and freeze after a few minutes, working is not possible, only a F5 and a re login would help another few minutes.
I can't use apps. When I try to install them they will not get deployed. The official Plex server can't be accessed, when I click on web portal Plex told me I have no rights, when I'm try to use truecharts Plex it won't get deployed because of other issues like that something can't be done or whatever. And I have the same thing with other apps. The fun fact is, that I can install docker images like netdata without problems, so the "ix-applications" dataset seems to be fine.
SMB is mega slow, on Core it was blazing fast.
And there are a lot of bugs on the web frontend. I can't imagine how this can be the last RC before the final version?! So it seems I have to wait until February to use Plex again I the hope that all the app problems are fixed until then
