I have been enjoying Unraid for many years now. Even converted friends to the platform, which has made backing up Unraid much easier  . Couple things I have issues with ever since 6.11 and I was hoping to get some help.

 

First rootshares. When everyone was on 6.11 I was able to create rootshare under SMB extras and utilize rsync over Zerotier to backup Unraids between each other. Since 6.12 rootshare seems to no longer work. My setup was simple. I would use Unassigned devices to map a rootshare over Zerotier to another Unraid and rsync could backup my files. Now the only way this will work is if the destination Unraid stays at 6.11 or earlier. As of release 6.12.13 this issue still exists. Tested today. The Zerotier still works between Unraid servers but when attempting to add a rootshare map under Unassigned devices the root share will not show. In fact NO SMB share will show.  If we roll Unraid back to 6.11 everything works again. It should be stated that the remote share server or destination SMB must have Unraid 6.11 but ironically the the server adding the remote SMB share via the Main tab can be at 6.12.13.

 

Second, and I apologize if this has been covered somewhere already, has macvlan been fixed and safe to use? I had to convert to ipvlan a while back and while it works fine my understanding is ipvlan everyone share a MAC address where in macvlan everyone has own address. Yes I use a customer network on my unraid with a vlans dedicated to docker containers biased on function. Not sure if that makes a difference. Every docker contain on a vlan has unique static IP.

 

Still loving Unraid, thanks in advanced

You can use UD to create a root share, remove all the manual settings first.

 

Macvlan is safe to use with since 6.12.11 IIRC
