  • Is the ZFS -Master plugin still maintained ? Since 2024.12.08 no change anymore. For me, ZFS was the main feature for starting with Unraid and without a maintained ZFS master It's not really attrac

  • ZFS Master may need an update with the current 7.2-rc2 (and rc1 as well but that isn't current now). When this plugin is installed it causes the Unraid Connect icon to disappear on the Main tab. It

Thanks to the developer of ZFS Master. It's a really great tool! 👍
I am currently on Unraid OS 7.3.2.

Anyone that wants to try this, I ported this to the new version of UNRAID 7.3.2 that I have. It shows all my old snapshots and allows me to action on them. I have not tested a restore etc yet.

plugin install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dlang123/ZFS-Master-Unraid/main/zfs.master.plg

I will post it up to Community Apps after the holiday weekend if it all still looks good.

Will be cool to have new version, still not on CA...

Ok, with codex help I did what Lime Technology could not for years!

One hour passed and also need to polish GUI.

Also I will add system notification for warnings and errors and theme palette to match Dynamix color theme.

Will be on github later.

I first installed ZFS Master many years back based on @SpaceInvaderOne YouTube content - the sand, auto backups etc etc.

Since then I have an issue that I can't delete the backups created with that process.

AI had me do a load of stuff, but they inevitably say I have to restart unraid to ;release a lock'.

There seems to be loads of 'clones' coming now, and I would like to know where unraid stands on this 'officially'. I would prefer something baked into the OS with all these vibe coded projects popping up.

Maybe @SpaceInvaderOne can do an updated video ?

@vw-kombi updated video of what? Plugin has no updates since December 2024 and Unraid has no build-in functionality for maintain ZFS.

Any news for posting to CA?

ZFS Director approved, will be in CA after next rebuild.

I’m not sure if anyone is interested but I built on dlangs fork to try keep the ZFS Master ongoing. It appears on the Main tab the same and the menus are similar. This will install over the top of dlangs or Ikers version. I do want to say thankyou to d3m3z for ZFS Director but I imagine this plugin will become a thing of the past once Unraid 8 comes along and I just wanted something to get me through to then.

I’ve tried to keep it nice and basic.

I think it takes a few weeks to get into the CA and I’ll start that process sometime next week once I’ve built a main/stable release.

Note: The current beta is pretty well tested and stable but I’d appreciate some feedback before it goes to main.

Also, some features are not available on Unraid installs pre Unraid 7.0.

New:

  • Rewrite Files (Unraid 7.3+) rewrites a dataset's files in the background, so new compression or checksum settings apply.

  • Convert clones files where the pool supports it, which is faster and takes no extra space. It also reviews before converting.

  • You can browse a snapshot's files, or see what changed since it.

  • Snapshots Admin filters, sorts and can include child datasets' snapshots.

  • Destroy, rollback and bulk delete show everything first, flagging Sanoid/Syncoid snapshots and the boot pool.

  • "Dataset is busy" names the container or process using it.

  • Optional alerts for pool health problems and stale snapshots.

  • Snapshot names can use UTC time.

  • Everything works from the keyboard, dialogs follow every Unraid theme, and settings have tooltips.

  • Admin actions go to the system log.

  • It installs over either upstream versions of ZFS Master and keeps your settings, and supports Unraid 6.9.2+.

Issues from upstream resolved:

  • Compress Ratio showed 0.01 for every dataset.

  • Notifications showed HTML tags in Discord and email.

  • Convert lost hardlinks and ACLs.

  • Shares and datasets with spaces in their names couldn't be managed or converted.

  • A ZFS stuck in the kernel could hang the page despite the time limit.

  • A failed upgrade could break the plugin, and the old background daemon came back on page load.

  • It changed other Main-tab plugins' requests.

  • One pool's unreadable snapshots blanked every pool.

  • Saving settings on a full flash drive lost them, and adding or removing a directory listing dropped the others.

  • Forced delete and convert didn't check for mounts inside the folder.

And I’ve got some more features in the pipeline.

Just attached a picture of the Main page and the settings page but all the sub menus have had updates too.

Very interested since 2024, when the plugin stopped updating.

I want to thank the developer of FW3 @chodeus who kindly agreed to extend the life of this plugin and spend a lot of his time improving and updating it.

For the users who interested, plugin now loads more quickly in main menu and have many updates like cool dialogs, history of snapshots etc...

Thank you!

I’m keeping an eye on this thread if anyone has issues.
