unRAID 7.0.0-beta.1 - "Custom" ZFS Configuration?

  • Closed

Hello,


I have recently swapped over to a "new" unRAID Media Server and have decided to create an unRAID "Backup" Server by repurposing my previous hardware.

 

I have the following sets of disks:

  • 5 x 8TB HDD
  • 4 x 4TB HDD
  • 4 x 2TB SATA SSD

I would like to end up with a single ZFS Pool that has the following configuration:

 

hybrid-pool
      raidz1-0
        /dev/sdf1 (8TB HDD)
        /dev/sdg1 (8TB HDD)
        /dev/sdj1 (8TB HDD)
        /dev/sdk1 (8TB HDD)
        /dev/sdo1 (8TB HDD)
      raidz1-1
        /dev/sdh1 (4TB HDD)
        /dev/sdi1 (4TB HDD)
        /dev/sdl1 (4TB HDD)
        /dev/sdm1 (4TB HDD)
    special
      mirror-2
        /dev/sdn1 (2TB SSD)
        /dev/sdp1 (2TB SSD)
        /dev/sdb1 (2TB SSD)
        /dev/sdc1 (2TB SSD)

 

Unfortunately, when creating a new Pool with 9 devices and selecting ZFS as the file system, unRAID only provides the options to create "1 group of 9 devices" or "3 groups of 3 devices".

 

Are there any plans to add options within the GUI to be able to create a "Custom" ZFS configuration?

 

Additionally, can the current logic be updated to provide grouping based upon the disk sizes present within a Pool (e.g. for my disk layout, provide the option to group the 8TB disks together and then group the 4TB disks together)?
