For some reason my network doesn’t like my existing running app pool. Even with all the apps stopped. When I change my app pool to my second one the network is stable. I am fine setting up all my apps up again, however when I unset the pool, deleted the ix-application dataset and deleted the /mnt/.ix-apps directory, when I import my pool again all the same apps come back. Is there a way to reset the configuration of a pool but not lose all my other data?
It’s not clear on what exact version of TrueNAS you’re running, but given your description it sounds like it may be 24.10.x something.
In that case I am not sure what you actually did when you tried to clear out the old configuration.
ix-applications isn’t used in 24.10 post apps migration. It’s left in case you want to revert back to 24.04. Removing it would not change the way 24.10 apps behave (again, post apps migration).
/mnt/.ix-apps is a mount point in 24.10+. The actual files are hidden away on whatever apps pool you chose. I am not sure what “deleted the /mnt/.ix-apps directory” would accomplish here, but it may be that you only removed the mount point temporarily.
I’m currently on Fangtooth RC, but had this issue when I was still on EE. Upgrading and reinstalling from scratch did not help. The /mnt/.ix-apps directory does have my old app config data though. Running ‘mount’ however lists /mnt/.ix-apps point to a /mnt/pool1/.ix-apps directory. However I can not navigate to that /mnt/pool1/.ix-apps directory. I can’t cd into it and it does not show when entering ls -al. Is there a ZFS cache or something that I might have to clear?
