Adding a status note on TrueNAS SCALE Bluefin.... There are now about 15,000 Bluefin systems up and active. Most of iX TrueNAS test systems have been running Bluefin very reliably.
Apart from the bugs identified in the release notes, the Apps have had the most reports of problems. So far 8 bug reports. We'd guess 10s of systems are having problems.... but frankly we don't have a great way of collecting this data, apart from these forums.
Unfortunately, we have not seen a pattern in those existing reports nor have we been able to reproduce a case. We are not sure if there are one or more causes of the issues... and whether there are specific processors/hardware that cause issues. It may or may not be related to having multiple pools.
So, we have three requests:
1) Please report any case where Apps are failing to run. Make a comment here. Start a new thread with hardware details, we'll see if there's any obvious problems and then ask for a bug report. We can also see more clearly how many systems have an issue. Finding a simple system with an issue would be useful.
2) If anyone can reproduce the issue on a SCALE VM, that would be very useful. We might be able to reproduce and isolate any software causes faster.
3) If anyone has time and spare hardware available, try building an angelfish system, installing Apps and then updating to Bluefin. Please report success/failure and the hardware spec. 1st person with a failure should start a separate thread.
Obviously, we'd like to chase down any issues like this ASAP. Thanks in advance for any help.
