FreeBSD 13.1 with latest TrueNAS CORE 13 causes problem for several people,
described below.

According to iXsystems it is due to latest FreeBSD, from iXsystems bug-report:
"I am sorry you're having trouble, but since this seems to be an upstream
FreeBSD there isn't much we can do other than wait for fixes.

If you are running OK with SCALE my suggestion is that you stick to it unless
there is any reason you can't?"

--------------
The problem, bug report for TrueNAS CORE:

VMware ESXi 6.7 with TrueNAS CORE 12U8.1, been rock stable since first CORE
12U1 version. Upgrade to CORE 13 went fine to begin with. But at sometime it
did shut down (after an hour or so). When rebooting it halts after
identification of LSI-card, and gives a looped fault “doorbell handshake
failed”. 

Then second attempt 3-4 weeks later, manual upgrade to 13U1-prerelease, all
fine then shuts down after short time. Unable to reboot, stuck at same
“Doorbell handshake failed”. This time unable to recover into 12U8.1. 

(Stopped using CORE after this and clean installed a SCALE VM - working ok).
