I’m not sure what it is, but Scale has never thrilled me. I’ve tested it a couple times and I just didn’t get along well with it. I’ve tested know Jim Salter (practicalzfs.com) has frequently recommended XigmaNAS as a strong (albeit less pretty) alternative to TrueNAS. I did some tests with that as well and it seemed perfectly fine. In the end I decided that when I migrate off of Core this winter, it’ll be to a bare metal FreeBSD system. I’m using it as an excuse to better learn that ecosystem and to bone up on ansible, which I’m using to define all of my settings.

BSD isn’t really being maintained. It gets contributions once and a while but the vast majority of development happens on Linux.

  That’s certainly true in terms of TrueNAS Core, but FreeBSD itself is quite active (15.0-RELEASE dropped this month), as are the others BSDs.

    All I know is that iX systems said that they might drop core since BSD isn’t nearly as well maintained as Linux.

    If I remember correctly, that was largely in consideration of the large corpus of docker-packaged projects that could be used as a pre-built app ecosystem. That makes a lot of sense for anyone who really wants an appliance-like all-in-one system with minimal setup.
