You're using TrueNAS SCALE, that's why hahaha

I love the idea of SCALE but IMO it falls flat, I had tons of issues with it when I used it for about 6 months about a year or so ago, and I had been using the BSD version on and off since FreeNAS 9.3 so I'm no noob.

IMO it's just easier to run a Linux distro like Arch (my choice, of course) with OpenZFS unless you have a bunch of drives, then using the CLI for management becomes very cumbersome. I was managing 22 HDDs and 8 NVME drives via the CLI and it's a nightmare. TrueNAS does have that buttoned down.

Finally someone has made a nice GUI for ZFS management, it's called Poolsman and it's a plugin for Cockpit, it offers basic ZFS management which is pretty much all I need. The downside is that it's currently closed source software and costs you $60 per year Per PC. Their development is also pretty slow. I bought it 10 months ago and they finally just added in support for creating ZFS pools about a month or two ago.
