Gotcha.  I wish I had developer mates around so I could learn from watching - I reckon there would be a ton of basic dev stuff I'd be good at.  I'd be a bit scared of losing my life to IT though - it's bad enough already!

I heard a rumour, last time I tried it didn't work because Unraid needed some kind of ZFS drive compiled into docker or something - I'm not really sure why everything has started working - so I'm nervous to change more.  Perhaps Unraid guys included basic ZFS libraries in the new version of unraid or something.

I did it without realising there was an issue before. It just worked. I am running with ZFS compiled in 6.9.1 via the docker kernel builder from ich777, so not the plugin. So not sure if that makes any diff. Doubt it but am not the expert here on that.

Backed up the docker.img just in case so i could back and then reinstalled all dockers from the previous installed option and was super smooth. First one by one to be sure, then the rest one big sweep. As long as you have no persistant data in the dockers but cleanly outside the image (in appdata) and you are fine. If your normal docker updates work fine , this also works fine.

Hi everyone

I'm all new to Unraid and just did a switch from TrueNAS. I'm using the ZFS plug in and it's working great.

 

Is the modified Unraid kernel with ZFS better? Or just an alternative?

Figured it out. No need to mount through /etc/fstab.

 

What's missing are entries in /etc/mtab,  which are created if mounted from fstab.

So a few echo into /etc/mtab is the solution. Just need to do this at boot.

Each filesystem that is accessible by smb (even through symlinks) needs a line in mtab to stop the spurious warning spam.

echo "[pool]/[filesystem] /mnt/[pool]/[filesystem] zfs rw,default 0 0" >> /etc/mtab

 

 

Sorry to bring this back. I just noticed this in my log. I Have SSD and HDD pools mounted to /mnt/SSD and /mnt/HDD.

 

Just to be sure. My commands will be like this?

echo "SSD /mnt/SSD/ zfs rw,default 0 0" >> /etc/mtab
echo "HDD /mnt/HDD/ zfs rw,default 0 0" >> /etc/mtab

No, you need to execute the command for every dataset inside the pool.

Thank you so much. The log stopped generating that warning after applying the script. 

 

Really appreciate your help. 

Does the plugin not be supported by 6.8.1 UNRAID?

That would seem to be the case.  6.8.1 is well over a year old now and was only current for a couple of weeks before being replaced by 6.8.2.  Anything stopping you from upgrading?

 

Might be worth upgrading to 6.8.3 if you don't want to move to 6.9?  6.8.3 was a main branch release for a long time while 6.9 was being worked on so should be well supported by plugins.

There are packages going back to 6.1.2 so 6.8.1  is definitely supported. Are you maybe on an old beta or RC? 

In any case I would just update to 6.9 just for fun I installed 6.8.1 and it worked

My upgrade is overdone

I upgraded to 6.9.1 and the ZFS plugin does not be supported.

What's your suggestion? Wait or degrade?

I'm not sure if I follow. I have just installed 6.9.1 on a new server and the ZFS plugin is working fine.

HOW？

Did you upgrade to 6.9.1 from lower version or install a new one?

A new installation. 

I'm just guessing here, if you are upgrading, maybe you should uninstall the old plugin, reboot and reinstall it back?

On "plugins" tab, is "ZFS for unRAID 6" up to date?

 

What's the output of this command?

 

ls -alh /boot/config/plugins/unRAID6-ZFS/packages

 

and this:

 

cat /var/log/syslog | grep 'plugin:'

 

Is your internet gateway running on unRAID?  I have run in to issues where the required package can't be downloaded on boot (and hasn't been previously cached)

 

You could try downloading the package manually and rebooting?

 

cd /boot/config/plugins/unRAID6-ZFS/packages
wget 'https://github.com/Steini1984/unRAID6-ZFS/raw/bce53432ab6891f33cd2fd16a4621b66a0c9c2dd/packages/zfs-2.0.0-unRAID-6.9.1.x86_64.tgz'

Doesn't that mean you have a network connection problem?

If still not working, does your unRAID machine have internet access?

 

Try these to test
