Problem/Justification
With the recent two point release updates to address the smb issues, i saw that after the update and reboot, truenas now always installs the nvidia drivers anew. It would be awesome to add like a promt before applying the update that asks, if the user wants to keep the currently installed driver, esspecially since no previous version of truenas required to intall the driver after every update.
Impact
The docker service and apps/vm’s will come up faster after an update since they don’t have to wait for the nvidia driver to be installed ( which took like 10-15 minutes after the last update for me)
User Story
Users with apps/vms/jails don’t have to wait (longer then needed) after a reboot for their services to be back online. In case of nspawn-containers, the post-init-script for automatically starting fails because it cant bind-mount the nvidia-folders. It may also reduce forum support request for “failed” app starts because users don’t realize that truenas is downloading the nvidia driver in the background and waits for the docker service to start until the download is complete.
