I just bought 5(400GB) Enterprise SSD's that I will attempt to setup in RAID-Z2 this week. Will keep you all posted.

Would you mine sharing your setup on how you compile the drivers/utils?

 

Am curious

 

Myk

 

Yeah will do tonight. Have to compile for unraid 6.1.7 so I'll write down the steps

The update is available now.

 

Here is a rough guide on how to compile it your self:

 

First off download this awesome script from gfjardim

wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/gfjardim/c18d782c3e9aa30837ff/raw/224264b305a56f85f08112a4ca16e3d59d45d6be/build.sh

Change this line from:
LINK="https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/linux-${KERNEL}.tar.xz"
to 
LINK="https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/linux-${KERNEL}.tar.xz

using:
nano build.sh
then make it executable
chmod +x build.sh

run it with 
./build.sh

answer 1, 2 & 3 with Y
answer 3.1, 3.2 with N
answer 3.3 with Y
answer 4 and 6 with N

then make the modules that are needed:
cd kernel
make modules

Then we need to build some dependencies

#Libuuid
wget "http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libuuid/libuuid-1.0.3.tar.gz?r=http%3A%2F%2Fsourceforge.net%2Fprojects%2Flibuuid%2F&ts=1453068148&use_mirror=skylink"
tar -xvf libuuid*
cd libuuid-1.0.3
./configure
make 
make install

#Zlib
wget http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
tar -xvf zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz
cd zlib-1.2.8
./configure
make 
make install

Then we build zfs and spl

First download the latest zfs and spl from zfsonlinux.org

wget http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/downloads/zfsonlinux/spl/spl-0.6.5.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf spl-0.6.5.4.tar.gz
cd spl-0.6.5.4

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/PACKAGE
cd $(pwd)/PACKAGE
makepkg -l y -c n ../spl.tgz
installpkg ../spl.tgz

load the module

depmod
modprobe spl

Same for zfs
wget http://archive.zfsonlinux.org/downloads/zfsonlinux/zfs/zfs-0.6.5.4.tar.gz
tar -xvf zfs-0.6.5.4.tar.gz
cd zfs-0.6.5.4

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
make install DESTDIR=$(pwd)/PACKAGE
cd $(pwd)/PACKAGE
makepkg -l y -c n ../zfs.tgz
installpkg ../zfs.tgz

depmod
modprobe zfs

something has changed in unRAID and the zpool command is not found in the path during startup and fails.  Plugin will have to be change to call zpool using a direct path instead.

 

I had to shutdown my array, and do the zpool -a manually to get it to come back up to have access to my dockers/vms.  upon restarting the array everything was working again....

 

 

Another thing I notice is the upgrade part of the script is not removing all the older packages so they are building up on the flash drive

 

Thanks

Myk

Please test the new version and let me know

New one looks good

 

Thanks

 

I have been waiting a LONG time for this combo.

 

Seeing this Plug-in with the new features of unRaid 6, I'm now ready to buy a pro key and go to town. I can actually make my storage server (which does pretty much nothing 90% of the time), move all my lower CPU Powered VMs and physical machines (Plex, pfSesnse, ect) and sell my other servers and recoup the costs while having a simpler setup.

 

unRaid6 + ZoL = Profit!

 

Why is BTRFS there but not ZoL!?

 

LimeTech... Give the customer what it wants and they will come.

In the next Ubuntu release ZFs will be shipped by default and I think that will push a lot of other distros in that direction... Hopefully Limetech will follow that trend.

Updated for 6.1.8

any update?  I cant get it to compile on latest unRAID kernel

 

Thanks

Myk

 

Updated for 6.1.9

Updated for 6.2.0-beta18 (kernel 4.4.4)

 

I also made the plugin compatible with versions 6.1.2 - 6.2.0-beta18

 

The only downside is that you need to keep every version of the tgz files (around 50mb now).

 

If someone knows how I can make the plugin download files (using the build in plugin downloader+md5 checker) based on a kernel version a PM would be greatly appreciated .. if not I guess I could always do everything in bash, but do not have time for that right now

Awesome. Thanks for that! I updated the plugin based on your code.

 

The plugin will continue to work for the later betas/rc while the kernel does not change from 4.4.4

You're welcome!

Finally updated for Beta20

Updated for unRAIDServer-6.2.0-beta22

Updated for unRAIDServer-6.2.0-rc1-x86_64

Updated for unRAIDServer-6.2.0-rc2

Updated for RC4

I really really want this. Hows the performance compared to BTRFS and is anyone having any issues with unRAID updating and not having support for your shares until the next update of the driver?

There are really good performance tests over at http://www.phoronix.com/ but for me it's more about stability and usability (snapshots replication etc that fits my workflow)

 

When unRaid is updated you have to wait for a plugin update. I try to update the plugin as fast as I can, but sometimes it can be a couple of days. If you accidentally update the worst thing that happens is that your Zfs pool won't be imported and the data the won't be accessible until a plugin update is pushed. In my setup that would mean all my dockers and vms.

 

I wanted to wait for 6.1 final before writing a complete how to for Zfs on unRaid, but if there was any interest I could get on that right away.

6.1.9 final was released many moons ago 

It was early. I meant 6.2 [emoji28]
