October 23, 2025Oct 23 I love unraid, it really is wonderful, here are some of my personal most wanted features for the future (currently on 7.1.4)Built in backup solution for virtual machines (major ++++ if it works while virtual machine is running.)Multiple arrays (not sure how this would work with the parity drive but i guess it would have to have 1 parity per array, either way, multiple arrays would be cool.)A nice way of monitoring files usage over smb or other protocols utilizing ionotify watchers or anything like this (i have my own script for this but its very rudimentary) it would be a very nice feature to have a nice overview of which user access what data, and the ability to filter out the verbose jibberish and get a pretty overview of whats going on files added/deleted, accessed etc.That is all i can think of, i think unraid has come a long way, i am looking to upgrade to zfs here soon to get rid of the bitrot worries, i recently updated to the most modern version and its running beautifully! Keep up the good work Edited October 23, 2025Oct 23 by je82
October 23, 2025Oct 23 Community Expert We know that 2) is definitely coming as Limetech have regularly mentioned this in their blogs/podcasts. Probably with the same limits of 1 or 2 parity drives per array.
October 24, 2025Oct 24 Author Came across another thing that would be a real quality of life improvement to unraid.Integrate something like https://github.com/doron1/unraid-newenckey to unraid to make an easy and convenient way for the end user to change their encryption keys to unlock array, right now its very finicky to do this manually and process to change this depends on what filesystem you are using, a universal way that makes it easy for user to change the pass-phrase to change encryption key no matter which filesystem they have encrypted would be a real improvement.
