G9 nuc truenas scale


  • I wonder if anybody tried to run truenas on the g9 nuc, because i ordered one and now i am looking for os solution. Definatly not gonna use either ubuntu or win.



  • I'm  about to put TrueNas Scale 24.10 on mine. I installed two Kingston NV2 1TB on Friday and left it running the stock Ubuntu over the weekend. (Didn't format the NVMEs or install anything because I knew I was going to blow it away. When I went to check it today, it's running 115F (47C) on the top left side of the case (looking from the front).   It's unconfortable to touch... amazing how a 6W processor can't be kept cool. Maybe it's the wifi card??  There is (very low) fan noise, so it's not like the fan wasn't hooked up.


  • @squeech I tried TrueNAS 24.10 and the installer has issues (failed to find partition 2 on mmcblk0).  https://forums.truenas.com/t/installation-failed-on-emmc-odroid-h4/15317

    This is not specific to the G9, but looks like anything with the embedded MMC type storage. 

    Start with 24.04 (Dragonfish) and then upgrade. 


  • I just got TrueNAS on mine, but I'm getting a warning about my SSDs not having unique serial numbers (saying its probably caused by cabling issue).
    I tried googling about it and it seems a common issue with port splitters, and causes issues for ZFS filesystem that TrueNAS uses.

    I'll maybe try few more things but if I can't find an answer over the weekend I'll probably opt to go with Open Media Vault instead.

    edit: I realised that this warning was not about the m.2 SSDs I had put into the system. It is about partitions that were created onto them eMMC when installing TrueNAS.
    Well, hopefully this here helps someone who's getting confused by the warning. lol
