Future Unraid Feature Desires

[SpencerJ]

Unraid 6.12 will mainly feature ZFS as a new feature set.

 

What feature(s) are you most excited about for future Unraid stable releases?

Multiple Arrays - I have a bunch of SAS SSDs just waiting for a second array. They are too small for my data (2tb) but will make great storage for my exi nfs.

[Agent531C]

No native Docker-Compose option 🥲

Multiple Unraid Array Pools.

 

It would be beneficial to have a storage product deliver actual storage functionality.

Hybrid or "tiered" storage (NVME + SSD + HDD). Where "hot" data is in NVME, then transitions down the stack. Least used data is on hdd. In other words; a QNAP qtier alternative.

i would like vm snapshots or a way to easily install vmware workstation,  but Multiple Unraid Array Pools sounds good also!!

Multiple Unraid Array support.

 

And don't forget to enhance "New config" to work with more than one main Unraid array

1. Multiple Unraid Array
2. ZFS
3. Intel Arc

Seems to me that if ZFS is implemented in its entirety, that multiple array pools will also essentially be implemented, no? At least it would be if you chose to use that file system.

 

In any case, I would really like to have VM snapshots implemented in the GUI in some way. It is such a powerful feature, and has been available in VMware products forever.

 

Thanks for a great product!

Multiple pools have been available for a while now. 6.12 adds the ability to use ZFS for those multiple pools.

 

It's the single volume per drive parity based array that is being proposed to have multiple instances. That style of array will likely always be restricted to single file systems on each member drive, thus the multi drive reliant features of ZFS will never be able to be used in the traditional Unraid parity array.

They said "multiple array pools", meaning something different than what is currently offered. At least that's how it reads to me.

Native Docker Compose with it properly recognizing when a stack/container has been updated manually or via watchtower.

Ah yes, that makes sense!

VM Snapshots like in proxmox ftw. So I can drop proxmox and use unraid on bare metal.
