You can "expand" it by increasing the capacity of each disk, but that can get costly.

Depending on how you have your vdevs set up, you could just add another.

I second this. Setup was a breeze for me compared to checkmk.

How do you keep track of where each drive is plugged in ? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I've started to utilize Netbox for all of that. Haven't gotten to the drives yet, but all my networking connections, power, IP's, etc. are documented in it.

Am I crazy to move to pfSense from OPNsense? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Not sure why you're being rude for no reason - maybe you need a cup of coffee. I am learning how things work hence the incorrect thought process. Just because you think you know everything doesn't mean you have to put everyone else down for not.

FYI on Fortigates (that I am used to working with opposed to *Sense), there is an incoming (source) and outgoing (destination) interface for the rules, so that's where that thought process originated.

My config probably does factor into some of the issues. To be fair, I've never had to block Internet from a single device before, and the rule seemed backwards compared to my thought process.

If I remember correctly, I started using OPNsense in 2020. Since then, my lab and network has evolved tremendously.

Am I crazy to move to pfSense from OPNsense? (alien.top)
 

So I've been using OPNsense for a few years. I have an extensive config inclduing vlans, plugins, policies, suricata, VPN, routes, gateways, HAProxy, etc.

Over the past few months, I've noticed certain bugs, weirdness, and slowness within OPNsense. I recently watched Tom Lawrence's video on the licensing changes and he touched on the openssl vulnerability that OPNsense has yet to remediate.

The Plus license cost (per year) which entitles you to some limited support options is also appealing. Every time I get stuck figuring out something complex in OPNsense, I have to hope someone else has tried to do the same thing and posted about it so I can troubleshoot.

I also don't like having to constantly update. A more "stable"/enterprise focused cycle like pfSense has seems like my pace. It broke on me last year with one of the upgrades and I had to clean install.

Don't get me wrong, I love the UI (mostly), plugins, etc. in OPNsense, but these past few months have got me thinking.

I've also heard that people don't like Netgate as a company, so that could definitely factor into not switching.

What are everyone's thoughts?

Not the case for R430 and AFAIK any other Poweredge series.

Dell R240 or R230 with OPNsense would be a great option.

TrueNAS Scale - Radarr/Sonarr/qBit files taking up double space in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

That could be the reason. I have separate datasets for each app, but downloads and media are both mounted to radarr and sonarr.

TrueNAS Scale - Radarr/Sonarr/qBit files taking up double space (alien.top)
 

I have Radarr and Sonarr set up with qBittorrent on TrueNAS scale.

qBittorrent downloads to a certain folder, then I believe Radarr and Sonarr are supposed to hardlink to those files to their respective directories, without taking up extra space.

However, TrueNAS is telling me each of these datasets (qbit downloads and radarr/sonarr folders) is taking up space, effectively doubling the usage when it should not be.

Ex. qBittorrent Downloads dataset: 400GB used

Radarr/Sonarr datasets: 400GB used

​

Anyone have any ideas?
