The Network and interfaces section of Truenas Scale could show more basic information about the network adapters. To name network adapters would also be really valuable when you have alot of different adapters in the system.
For example, ther Interfaces section could show:
To have checkboxes what to see on this page could be good as well.
Hello,
I fully agree with you !
The minimum for me would be the link speed (do not know how to find the information on the GUI)
You mean like this?
That’s a screen shot of the interface overview in TrueNAS CORE.
All of this existed. I do not understand why the supposedly superior successor product removes feature after feature …
Cory Doctorow has a word for this.
Hey, we now have support for 50 series GPUs and upcoming WiFi support 
Ah, but now it has a web-based installer! Which nobody asked for, and which is unnecessarily tied to a cloud service. And an enclosure display for generic hardware! Which is actually useful, but is also unnecessarily tied to a cloud service.
On 2nd thought, my initial reply was unkind and I withdraw it. But that said, seriously you gotta get over this. If you don’t personally use a feature, you are welcome to not use it. Let other work get raised purely on its own merits alone.
Fair enough. But I’d hasard that the pain in this totally unrequested feature coming at the same time that primary NAS functions such a scheduling SMART tests are removed and/or outsourced to a third-party application (which, adding insult to injury, happens to be essentially abandonware). This heavily signals that TrueNAS is going to a direction that @dan (and others) do NOT want to take.
Of course, if we do not like the latest version of TrueNAS, it is fine not to use it.
You have once again missed the point: you’re removing feature after feature that people use and value (like SMART self-test scheduling, or actual useful information about network interfaces in the GUI), while spending engineering resources on things that nobody’s asking for. Your needlessly tying those features to your cloud service is admittedly an orthogonal issue, though troubling.
It’s entirely valid IMO to remark in response to this request that the feature was in CORE, and to wonder why it was removed.
I’ll let you in on a little background information. We’ve done extensive talking to our customer base (which has doubled in the past 2 years BTW). And of course our paying customer base. The number one difficulty with TrueNAS according this feedback? Is that it is vastly over complicated. Too many options. Too many knobs that have a steep learning curve. So yes, you will see a lot more of this simplification effort in the coming years. Granted, we may at times go too far and have to dial-back to find a happy medium. So don’t be surprised at this. But that is the real “art” in this kind of product UX design, is finding ways to keep things easy, where the software does most things “right” 99% of the time automatically without advanced knowledge required. But at the same time providing enough of the advanced buttons to tweak for power users who do want to get in under the hood. That is the real tension. And guess what, it will never be perfect. If I have power users (like yourself) complaining it’s too streamlined, and then the very basic users saying it does have a bit of a learning curve, then we’re probably at the right spot in that balance.
