Enabling apt

In versions of TrueNAS 24.04.x and newer you need to remount the virtual drive(s) before you can use chmod +x

mount -o remount,rw 'boot-pool/ROOT/24.04.x/usr'

You need to make sure that /usr/local/bin isn’t in your PATH too.

export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

and then

chmod +x /bin/apt*
chmod +x /usr/bin/dpkg

Showing correct free & used space in File Explorer

SMB shares do not show free/total instead display free/free resulting in a useless capacity bar in Windows. SMB Auxiliary Parameters are missing from the GUI. Editing smb4.conf to include zfs_core:zfs_space_enabled = true will fix that however the file will revert after each restart, there is no persistant way to fix this yet.

nano /etc/smb4.conf
zfs_core:zfs_space_enabled = true
service smbd restart

Showing correct free & used space in File Explorer Pt.2

After some internet digging new methods have been found to make this presistant after rebooting by adding zfs_core:zfs_space_enabled = true to the auxiliary parameters in the place which it would be from the GUI in previous TrueNAS versions.

As root user in shell:

midclt call sharing.smb.query | jq
midclt call sharing.smb.update <id> '{"auxsmbconf": "zfs_core:zfs_space_enabled = true"}'

To view and confirm the changes the file can be viewed in the TrueNAS CLI:

cli
sharing smb query (grab the ID of your share)
sharing smb update x (where x = your share ID)
