This was extremely clear and straightforward. I struggled with other tutorials that went faster than this one because they didn't lay out as may details as I needed as a beginner. Thank you so much for making this tutorial.
Love your videos, I watched all in your truenas list. Would you mind doing some more? I'd like to know use cases for "sync" datasets and how that works. You mention this a bit in your virtualization video but are there other use cases to use sync? I'd also like to know how you'd add a ftp server to existing pool/vdev? And last I'm still trying to understand what exactly are the differences between pool/vdev/datasets. Since you can create datasets within datasets. And I've not seen you create multiple pools or vdevs in one video. Thank you! Your videos have been so helpful in me understanding more about this system.
Nice tutorial. However, was the presenter / narrator even aware that by selecting Server Message Block type of share, his case sensitivity selection changed automatically to INSENSITIVE, after he talked so much about selecting it to be SENSITIVE case? Does he know???
The "case insensitive" setting in Samba is only useful if the client supports case insensitive filename lookups. Windows does not, and it will have trouble if you have two files with the same name but a different case. Clients that do support case insensitivity include the SMB support in the Linux kernel and Samba's own "smbclient".
Doesn't work for me no idea. Shares work then don't. Change password. change permissions still not working. Windows asks for password regardless of disabling it or not. Something is screwed somewhere.
Thank you! When you "Add User" does this name and password have to mach your windows credentials? I have added the share to windows so I can now view the network folder but I cannot write to it by adding folder. The TrueNAS ACL is correct, the "local_user" has read write permissions, the only thing I can see is that on Windows the Folder properties/security "local_user" does not have these permissions and I cannot change them? Does that matter? Is this common issue? On the weekend I will start again, with fresh set-up. Thanks
Server Message Block is adopted by Windows OS, but it's not Windows file sharing. IBM created Server Message Block for IBM mainframes long before little ole' Windows came along in the mid-1990s.
To the point. Thanks for the clear guide. I have a quick question, Can a user change his password? I am using TrueNAS independent (no Active Directory)
Thank you for this easy to follow setup guide! Can everyone login with the same user simultaneously or do I have to make separate user accounts for each user (the NAS is only going to be used by my family so I don't need the feature to lock out individual users or different permissions).
You can have as many connections as you would like with the same account. Also, check this out if you have TrueNas Scale ruclips.net/video/dfyKKsnEOyc/видео.htmlsi=MxjeOh-uAtW-jsUh It enables webUI for the shares, making it easy for family that are no tech savvy
This is what you need. ruclips.net/video/dfyKKsnEOyc/видео.htmlsi=_Kp--MX9z1O5EFnp Or you would need to create a VPN connection like in the following video: ruclips.net/video/YEkfW4aC9Rk/видео.html
I think is screwed this up when I set it up originally and can't reverse what I have done. I still have the root account so can access the web interface is there any way I reset all and start again without losing my data?
i have the same prob... theres some kind of limiter somewhere, both my truenas and windows pc are gig attached, but very clearly seem to hover consistently at ~95 or so mbits/sec. This is identical for read and write. I have disabled compression.
@@TechworksOnline Yeah I'm having the same issue as the other folks. I'm hardly getting 100MB/s and everything is on a 1gb network. My truenas pc has an i7-6700 and 64mb of ram. hdd's are 7200rpm 10tb and running 4 on raid z. Any suggestions?
Quick question. For users or other groups not included in the permissions sections, is there a way to make the non-accessible folder not viewable when accessing ip in Windows Explorer?
Yes, in the Share settings uncheck the "Browsable to network Clients" option. The "purpose" Field must be set to an SMB option to have that selectable and NOT set to "Default share parameters"
I don't understand why the man kept going when he selected Raidz1, and it told him the total available storage was 16 GB. He selected 4 8-TB disks, so he should have more than 16 TB storage. That sounds like a mirror configuration. 8*4/2 = 16.
Each disk also requires 2GB swap. So another 8GB. When a typical disk you are adding is actually like 2TB disks, you won't notice the 2GB missing hehe.
l did everything you said but can’t get this to work on my iMac running Mojave username and password don’t work even open access can’t log into share file Thanks Any ideas
This is too much. I’m just going to buy a synology nas lol. I don’t even see some of the options and this is extremely overwhelming. Thanks though. I can see where long ago this helped people. Maybe the software changed and went down hill is my best guess. :(

What a ball-ache! Why does setting up an appliance OS have to be so darn opaque? What's the quote? "You had one job." Having installed TrueNAS as a VM on my ESXi server to test it out (yes, I'm fairly computer savvy) I couldn't work out how to get it to do it's most basic task... the usual frustrating look though on-line documentation and forum posts later and I'm non-the-wiser. So I followed this excellent video to the letter and... "You do not have permission to access..." I guess TrueNAS isn't for me.* *Bye, bye TrueNAS VM. I didn't know you long and you sharn't be missed. Back to my previous solution: A dietpi VM running CASAOS with some direct editing of config files and Docker running on top - Oh how I detest all forms of Linux and it's nonsense.
If you get you do not have permission then you will want to make sure you use an Account that was created with the samba share option selected in the user settings (not admin user) and then make sure the permissions for that folder within TrueNAS allow that user or the users group to have access,
What??? His boot 👢🥾 disk is 5 times larger than his data storage disk? Gosh! He won't be able to store very much on this network attached storage server. It would be more usual to see four 8 TEBIBYTE devices, not four that are 1000 times smaller. 😮

You saved me so much time. I spent 7 hours trying to get this right. Thank you!
As a Truenas newbie I had a hard time figuring this out too. Unraid was soo much easier
Very helpful - thank you. The user guide lays out all the variables but having a simple use case really helps. Super clear explanation.
Truenas is a real PITA to configure, but it work very well after that
Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

The UI for TrueNAS SCALE 23.10.2 and everything in this video is not working. Can you please remake this video using TrueNAS SCALE 23.10.2?
Really appreciate you taking the time to do this video
Thanks a lot 😊
Best TrueNAS tutorial on RUclips. Thanks!
Nice tutorial.
However, was the presenter / narrator even aware that by selecting Server Message Block type of share, his case sensitivity selection changed automatically to INSENSITIVE, after he talked so much about selecting it to be SENSITIVE case?
Does he know???
SMB is case sensitive.
Dont mistake SMB with SAMBA which is case insensitive.
Not sure if TrueNAS cares and changes the selection or not.
@@TechworksOnline, I appreciate your answering back, but did you see your video at that timestamp to know what I'm observing?

@richardbennett4365 hahah yea!! Nice.. I didnt notice when changing it, I guess TrueNAS dont care.

not without access to the truenas interface that I know of.
Great video! thanks! is there a way I can give access to one user for both a shared folder and also his own personal folder?
What a great video. thanks so much.
Thank you very much for the excellent tutorial, it was of great help to me. 👍

Yes. Go to the console. (Keyboard and monitor) and select the option to reset truenas
TYVM!!!
Thank you for your share. I have setup the SMB, but unfortunately is tranfer speed is not good as it is only 22M/s.
What is the network speed and what type of disk is it, and how powerful machine do you have (RAM and CPU) for the TrueNas machine
Sounds like the speed one would expect from using 10/100 lan.

Now how do I access this share in Debian?
If you have GUI. You should see in the file browser a section to connect to network share. Or follow most guides on google for your distro.
what is the raid configuration ??
It does not matter for the ability to share over SMB. This setup was a raidz1 though.
