No, we said Enterprises donāt use Jails. We donāt think we can adequately support them.
They do use SCALE Appsā¦ Nextcloud, Synthing, Minio. Weāll be adding more. There is an āEnterprise Apps catalogā

Nightly TrueNAS-13.3-MASTER-202408050733 seems broken.
Canāt authenticate samba users because /var/run/samba-cache/private/passdb.tdb doesnāt exist. I see that this path was a recent ix samba change.
I created /var/run/samba-cache/private and reset the password for a user. passdb.tdb was created after resetting the password and I can connect.
But it doesnāt persist across a reboot. /var/run/samba-cache is nuked.

Thanks for testing. Please report a bug ASAP.
Our own testing is ongoing for the next week, but you can accelerate the catch and release process.

Broken for me too.
Noted on other thread we will have a look, please go ahead with a bug report for this one.
I can maybe tonight, or tomorrow.
It wonāt hurt my feelings if somebody beats me to it.
There were obvious messages about the missing file/path in /var/log/samba4/*.

Iāll try to file one.

Thanks Victor!
I see NAS-130446 / 13.3 / Ensure required samba directories are created by anodos325 Ā· Pull Request #14144 Ā· truenas/middleware Ā· GitHub landed a few minutes ago, which will surely resolve the issue. Thanks @awalkerix and others!
So donāt use TrueNAS-13.3-MASTER-202408050733 or TrueNAS-13.3-MASTER-202408060734. But Iām assuming the next nightly will be good.

These are nightlies so things will be in flux. For example, www/apache24 port update was also just merged to bring in latest fixes for webdav service.

13.3-stable is following same samba repository as stable/dragonfish. Regression in nightlies for 13.3 was caused by a system dataset related fix in dragonfish (but we probably also needed it for 13.3 as well). There were a few other minor SMB-related fixes that will be mentioned in release notes.

Ha! I did not know that! Iāve used iSCSI with windows, it was stable as an iceberg. Like the rest of Core.
Besides Boot Environments and jails ā itās freeBSD documentation and introspection, leading with dtrace.
I understand that whole point of āstorage applianceā is to ājust workā and not require user to fiddle with internals; but when something does not, or if there is some performance issue, having these tools makes all the difference.
I donāt think there is dtrace replacement on linux still; there are some tools that implement some of the functionality, but itās not the same yet. I have accumulated a collection of dtrace scripts that quickly tell me whatās going on on the system.
Same goes on boot environments. Being able to recovery quickly from screwups (or beta software bugs) is invaluable.
That bug I referred to is a real world outcome of them existing: have there not been boot environment, I would not have tested beta release, and when the official release happened ā Time Machine backups would still be unprotected; and fixing bugs after release is much less desirable than before. So this has already paid off at least once in the last months.
Another TrueNAS feature that I absolutely love (and I"m not sure if Scale implements this the same way) is how the configuration is handled: that the āconfiguration backupā file is a literaly a list of commands to get from a vanilla install of the OS to the current configuration. Itās brilliant, and very robust.
Great! Iāll test the nightly.
SCALE handles the config backup in the same way as COREāwhich has never been āliterally a list of commands to get from a vanilla install of the OS to the current configuration.ā Itās insteadāwith both CORE (and FreeNAS before it, in every version back to 8.0) and SCALEāa SQLite database; the task of reading that database and implementing the configuration described in it belongs to the middleware.
Look at bpftrace. It provides much of same utility you can get out of dtrace. I use it fairly regularly to inspect kernel / zfs / performance issues. Itās generally useful to be familiar with bpftrace if you use linux in any serious work capacity. Brendan Gregg has various useful bpftrace one-liners just like his dtrace ones).
From an end-user perspective thereās very little difference between SCALE and Core for basic NAS functionality.

Does the TrueNAS-13.3-MASTER-202408061341 build contain the SMB fix or should I wait longer?
Yes it has the fix in

I missed that one, but I can confirm SMB passwords and auth are working in the current TrueNAS-13.3-MASTER-202408070733. Thanks again.
