So, what can you expect from this update? Let’s dive in.
Bug Fixes and Enhancements Galore
The TrueNAS 12.05-U5 update boasts a whopping twenty improvements and eighty bug fixes. Thanks to a Python upgrade, potential memory leaks and rare middleware crashes have been addressed, ensuring a smoother overall experience. The OpenZFS has also been updated to version 2.0.5, while several security updates have been implemented for key components that are not available in the previous version, 11.3.
Better Management for R-Series and Mini Enclosures
One of the highlights of this update is the improved management for TrueNAS R-Series and Mini enclosures. This control upgrade will undoubtedly enhance performance and productivity, making it a must-have for any TrueNAS user.
Improvements to the WebUI
The WebUI has been given some much-needed TLC in this update. A major bug causing CPU percentage issues on the dashboard has been resolved, along with several other minor improvements. And for those with NVMe drives, the update also includes automatic resizing support. Isn’t that something to look forward to?
M-Series HA Enhancements
iXsystems has also not forgotten about M-Series users. The update has brought significant improvements for HA setups, further enhancing performance and reliability.
The Transition to TrueNAS Core
With the 12.0-U5 update, iXsystems is actively encouraging users to switch to TrueNAS Core from the now “legacy” FreeNAS. Though some may be put off by the name change, the company has stated that this is the way forward and we believe it to be the right move.
iXsystems Hiding TrueNAS Update Details: Is it a Cause for Concern?
One of our readers has brought to our attention that iXsystems has made some changes to how they share updates. As stated in their blog post, the link to the “full list of changes and bugs” can only be accessed with a Jira account. While this may not be an issue for most users, some have raised concerns about the lack of transparency.
Regardless, we’re still excited about the promised updates for TrueNAS Scale and can’t wait to see what’s in store for the future.
