Maxxam Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Hi, This is my wish-list: VM Snapshot and VM cloning via ui ability to change mac address (persistent) for ethernet controllers automated support for multifunction pci device like GPUs with Audio addon without having to go XML for correct slot assignment 2 Quote Link to comment
Attenbach Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 What about being able to connect your NAS via Thunderbolt 3 if the motherboard supports it. Many do nowadays. Or even act as mass storage via USB 3.1 Gen 2 Connector? Quote Link to comment

Or even act as mass storage via USB 3.1 Gen 2 Connector? I don't think that's possible without some very special hardware and the software to match. Unraid runs as a normal linux system, which is a device host. To make it function as a device client isn't trivial. Would be nice though for some configurations. Probably not going to happen though. 1 Quote Link to comment
PSYCHOPATHiO Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) A thing I would like to see is a minor change or option on the Dashboard at the "Interfaces" tab, perhaps an option to switch from packets counter to Bits or Bytes or maybe Gigabytes transferred.

After multi-pool/cache, this is my personal most wanted feature On 11/21/2019 at 12:42 AM, limetech said: We have multiple-pool support coming in 6.9 release. After that we can look at adding a UI to create vdisks that map to iscsi targets. Edited June 26, 2020 by tjb_altf4 Quote Link to comment
PeteAsking Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 I would like the ability for the usb flash to mirror its config on a daily basis as an automatic backup to one of the shares and then if you plug in a fresh unraid usb stick because it died to have the option if it detects disks with a config on it to restore that backup and reboot setting itself back up and restored semi automatically so that flash failures no longer are the big deal that I see on the forums from time to time. 1 Quote Link to comment
sota Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) Here's a wild one... To go along with the multiple pools idea, make it so that I can add/drop a pool in/out of the system and import/export its configuration, WITHOUT it damaging the state of the parity drive associated with it. Why would I want this? Cold storage backup of the main array/pool. I can duplicate the contents of the main array to the backup one, then pull the disks and put them in storage. Not only will I have a data file backup, but a parity drive to go with it to help protect/guard against bit-rot or other possible problems when drives have been off for a while (stiction *might* still be a thing.)

I would add the option to clone VMs easily as I am using VMs as a test environment. I have a master VM that servers as a template. Clones are created for one test only and desposed afterwards. Currently I am using the BTRFS functionality to clone the discs and then set up a "new" VM using the cloned discs instead of newly created ones. Would be very nice to have this as some kind of dialog to autmatically clone a VM (see VirtualBoxes approch of a linked clone - works like a charm for me). Cheers Max Quote Link to comment

Fizzyade Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Probably already said it, but set the VNC port in the GUI so it doesn’t get lost when changing configuration xml. Drives me absolutely nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment

Fizzyade Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 1 hour ago, limetech said: What do you mean by this? example? If you change the VNC port in the XML to be a specific port instead of auto (which is the behaviour that you want, you want to connect to the same VM on the same port) and then sebsequently change any setting of the VM using the gui the port reverts back to the auto port, losing your nicely configured static port setting. We need to be able to show and set the port in the gui so that it can easily be configured to a static port and more importantly that the mapping isn’t lost when you make a GUI change. im forever having to go back and edit the XML to restore the vnc port. 1 Quote Link to comment

There turned out to be a LOT of edge cases. Maybe officially baking in virt-manager would be a good answer. 1 Quote Link to comment

tjb_altf4 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Seeing as there are updates happening to the USB Flash Creator I thought I'd throw some suggestions out there that I think would be particularly helpful to users that are green to Unraid. exFAT support: it's released to open source now, soon to part of the kernel purported to be optimizations for flash improved file integrity? checksumming of metadata larger flash drives supported like FAT/FAT32, it is well supported - crossplatform Preloaded configuration (streamlined plugins): default configurations Light (no configured plugins) Standard (essential/suggested plugin - CA etc) Full Fat (such as enabled baked in GPU drivers) additionally, selectable packages in particular essential plugins like CA, wireguard, FCE, UD etc (Restore) new flash from Unraid backup Easy restore from flash drive corruption with messing around with extracting zipped folders etc Easier roll backs where not possible through Unraid itself Could include option to request usb key migration (to current, new key) Edited July 2, 2020 by tjb_altf4 1 Quote Link to comment

ChatNoir Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 While it is not the most mainsteam feature, it could help on certain cases. However, I am afraid that the WiFi drivers might be quite a new layer of mess. 1 Quote Link to comment
tuner562 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Would the SSD support include PCIe based SSD? Quote Link to comment
