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

    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)?

    Not as far as I know.

    That's a pity.

     

    I can create a "custom" ZFS Pool from the command line but I don't then get the benefit of being able to view the details/usage/status in the same way as when created within the GUI (the ZFS disks appear within the "Unassigned Devices" plug-in details rather than in the "Pool Devices" details).

     

    Is there a way to add the "custom" ZFS Pool from the command line so that they appear within the "Pool Devices" area?

    Nope.
