Hello,
I have a TrueNAS Mini X purchased around 2020 and I have been running TrueNAS CORE on it ever since. I used it mostly for file and media sharing and it was quite under utilized. I thought I'd give SCALE a go so I can utilize KVM and linux containers and not have an idle server.
I was running the latest TrueNAS CORE 13.0-U6.1 and it was stable prior to attempting a clean install of TrueNAS SCALE 23.10.0.1 via Device Media.
Steps to replicate
There was very little user involvement as I walked through the installer as instructed. Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this issue. Cheers!
