I recently upgraded my NAS and noticed that the current version (24.10) of TrueNAS SCALE seems to be missing partition reporting.
As mentioned in the docs for 24.10, reporting should include “CPU, disk, memory, network, NFS, partition, target, UPS, ZFS, and system functions.” Based on this, it also seems like NFS reporting is missing.
I found a forum post on the old TrueNAS forums mentioning this issue, but since the old forums have been locked, it appears no update will be posted there.
Is this an intentional choice to remove partition reporting or is there some way to re-enable this feature? It was very useful to see the used space over time across my drives.
I don’t think I understand the concern; “partitions” have never been a relevant concept for TrueNAS, or FreeNAS before it. As to NFS, you’re right that the docs say it’s included in the reporting and it isn’t. I can’t imagine what information from NFS you’d want there, but that looks like a bug in the docs.
I would have to boot up my old NAS to get screenshots of what was reported, but it was essentially a graph showing pool (or dataset, again, not 100% sure) usage/free space over time. In the reporting menu dropdown, it was labeled “Partition.” The version of TrueNAS running on my old machine wasn’t too old, it has whatever the stable release was in 2022.
It looks like those screens were last present in 22.12 (https://www.truenas.com/docs/scale/22.12/scaleuireference/reportingscreensscale/) and were indeed removed along with the Reporting redesign and switch to a Netdata reporting backend in 23.10. That sentence in the intro of the doc is just a bit of cruft that snuck through, but the rest of the article does cover the options that are actually present. I’ll open a ticket to update that sentence in the docs.
