I have 2 NICS bonded with a VLAN. Rebooting makes it go away temporarily.

Its still a known issue we plan to solve very soon.

How do we disable the alert? My email is getting spammed 30 times per day.

and still no option to go back to general, rather than early adopter. Will this ever happen, or do we need to revert to something?

Yes–once the version you’re on reaches general status.

You wait for 25.10.2.1 to hit General Status or you revert back to 25.10.1 and change the Update Train to General. 25.10.1 is the latest version with the General option

haha, i miss this mysterious changing of the status, every single time!!!

yep, thats the bit i always miss, some sort of notification of that staus change would be helpful.

Keep an eye on TrueNAS Software Status | TrueNAS Documentation Hub

But the easiest thing to do if you want to be on General is roll back to a 25.10.1 boot environment, set it to General, and then wait for the UI to alert you of an available update for something in the 25.10.2.X range.

noticed dan upgraded to 25.10.2.1

so i got brave and updated.


working fine on my end.

browse via file explorer for smb on windows 11 client - works

truenas ui - works

docker containers - works

smart - works (notes: yes it’s missing in the UI, but since i read the forum and changelogs, i know, i can always go to shell to run the smart command. and… i know that regardless of that, smart scheduling will auto work without my intervention, so i dont have to do anything. i also checked, and yes scrutiny container works, so i can always get a quick check for the current smart status. and yes scrutiny was recently updated in github, so no issue there either)

hdd sleep - this got removed. this one i am not sure. will have to see the electricity bill at the end of the month. but these nas drives were designed for 24/7 spinning. very controversial in the sleep or non sleep camps depending on your own requirements. i dont take a side on this, to each their own.

anyway no big issues and i came from the latest fangtooth and upgraded without issue.

And surprisingly i felt the performance difference. dont know if that is placebo or what. but the truenas ui felt more responsive.

also the cpu utilization is much lower, which is great. because my nas is mostly idle most of the time.

back when i was using qnap, my cpu would go 10-25% now with truenas and this goldeye? 0-1% almost flatlined :slight_smile:

cpu temps about 40c, nice and cool on idle

*update

so i asked ai and it said this

Upgrading from TrueNAS 25.04 “Fangtooth” to TrueNAS 25.10 “Goldeye” provides significant performance enhancements across several key areas, particularly in high-end workloads and user interface responsiveness.

Key Performance Improvements

  • Web Interface (UI) Responsiveness:
    Users have reported a “massive difference” in UI performance,
    describing it as significantly snappier and faster than Fangtooth.

  • Storage & ZFS Optimization: Goldeye improves ZFS pool import performance and write operation responsiveness. It also introduces a “ZFS rewrite” that allows for more efficient application of changes to compression and deduplication.

  • Network Throughput: The update adds support for Terabit-class Ethernet hardware (up to 400Gbps) and expands performance for NVMe over Fabric (NVMe-oF), which reduces latency and overhead for high-speed storage networking.

  • Virtualization & CPU Usage:

    • NFS Performance: Specifically improved for NFSv4 clients.

    • CPU Efficiency: Background CPU usage for containerized applications is reduced, and fixes to asyncio_loop have resulted in lower idle CPU temperatures for some users.

    • GPU Offloading: An updated Linux Kernel provides better support for modern iGPUs (like Intel Alder Lake), significantly improving hardware encoding performance for media streaming.

Functional Changes

  • Unified Foundation:
    While Fangtooth began the process of unifying CORE and SCALE, Goldeye matures this foundation, making it the current recommended version for new deployments.

  • UI Removals: Note that some legacy UI elements, such as the direct scheduling for SMART tests, have been moved to cronjobs or replaced by third-party apps like Scrutiny in the Goldeye release.

so yes those performance gains and UI responsiveness wasn’t imaginary for my own observations :blush:

  • more responsive truenas ui - check
  • lower cpu usage on idle - check
  • low temps - check

so yeah i definitely recommend upgrading if u haven’t already

Also side note: the earlier versions of goldeye may have had issues for upgrading if u check the changelog notes. But the latest goldeye had already solved many issues, including that. so i would say it’s safe.

Great to see this level of review. Some of this is probably due to the integration of SMART data collection and analysis into the TrueNAS middleware.

added screenshot



this is what i’m seeing on TrueNAS 25.10.2.1 :saluting_face:

for context i got 14 docker containers running in the background ^^;

0% CPU utilzation is pretty good… no promises we can improve on that.

FYI.. we expect to get 25.10.2.2 out this coming week.

Restarting the network worked for me for now.

Same issue for me, now I have like 100 truenas connect emails in my inbox, I have been receiving them the whole time I was sleeping every few minutes.

I am on 25.10.2.1 and this issue is STILL not solved nor is an update available. The latest nightly build is also from 24 February

Just restart your truenas pc or ssh into it and type the following command: service middlewared restart

@chrislongros You probably need to do a fresh nightly install of 26 and reload your system configuration. There was an announcement

Yes, 25.10.2.2 is still in the QA process…

It is being actively worked, but we delay these if we find bugs that need to be fixed.

Unfortunately, while we were fixing the known issues, some unknown issues came in from upstream projects. These fixes had to be integrated and tested.

We decided to make it a full minor release, 25.10.3, and spend an extra 2 weeks with a full QA run.

So, the good news is more quality. The bad news is that it’s later in April.

TrueNAS 26 BETA will also be coming out beforehand, but that will not distract from getting 25.10.x to mission-critical quality.
