January 8, 20251 yr Hello, I am thinking of using unraid for my new diy nas, and I would like to use zfs. However, zfs is only in the new v7 which is still in beta. is RC2 stable enough to use for homelab/home use? My data is important and I don't want to risk it, but I also don't want to have to build an 8 drive array and later on have to deal with conversion to zfs. What's the recommended approach for my situation/use case? Do I need to wait for v7 full release? Is there a planned date for that to happen? Should I stick with 6.12 and then upgrade to 7 later on and not use zfs? I'm leaning towards zfs because of speed + resiliency (hoping to do raidz2 with two parity drives), and my nas has 64gb ram and zfs would put that to good use. Does the one year of updates include going from v6 to v7? Edited January 8, 20251 yr by SinisterSpatula

January 9, 20251 yr I am migrating to UNRAID myself, went straight to v.7.0.0-rc2. As far as I can tell it is very stable and could not find any problem, but I need to test it a little longer. Build a test system if you can and see it by yourself.

Yes assuming that v7 is released during your 1 year of updates period (which at this point seems extremely likely). See the FAQ section on this page https://unraid.net/pricing for specifics of how the update period works.
