Hi @Beardmann, thanks again for using Poolsman and providing such detailed feedback. We finally prepared answers to your questions. Also we found your email where we partially discussed some of these things and have more context now. Yes, we are going to start working on that right after 1.0...

Hi, we are pleased to announce Poolsman Preview 6 release that adds more advanced features in pool disks management, as well as some dataset properties that are very important for NFS and Samba shares. Now you are able to: Convert a disk group (VDEV) of a Single Disk to a Mirror. Remove disk...

thank you @Beardmann for such a great feedback! Regarding startup time optimization, we are aware of this issue and hope to resolve it soon. It's related with the Blazor framework that is used in Poolsman. This issue was solved in the latest release of this framework and currently we are working...

Hi @tomerh2001, we've added support for OpenZFS v. 2.2.x in new 0.5.2.0 release. Please try it, the issue with the Datasets page should be solved.

Hi @tomerh2001, thank you for providing logs. Seems that you are using OpenZFS version 2.2.x. There were some changes in this version in work with 'snapshot_count' property. We will provide a hotfix tomorrow.

Hi @FHTheron, @cojones, we've released 0.5.1.0 version with the hotfix for scrub/trim commands running under non-root user. It should be available for download on the portal.

Thanks for finding this. We've checked, there's an issue with running scrub/trim commands under non-root user. We will provide a hotfix in few days. By the way, we are also going to release a new version with a lot of new features within next two-three weeks.

Hi @FHTheron, you should be able to execute actions by non-root user if it belongs to `sudo` group. For doing this, you need to switch to the `Administrative access` mode in Cockpit. In the top right corner you could find this switcher (by default it's set to `Limited Access`).

Hi @the-last-englishman, thank you for a great feedback! We've sent you an email with the request for additional data about your issue. We haven't tested Poolsman on Ubuntu 23.04 yet (it's not in the supported OS list), but will try to help you with this.

Should work fine with any existing dRAID pool :-) We've also tested working with "virtual" spares. However dRAID is not so well tested as classic pools. So if you get some issue with dRAID, please send us the output of "zpool status" command and we'll try to fix that. Yeah, it's slightly...

Hi guys, just want to inform that we are still working on Preview 5 release and it's expected in the first half of June. It will bring the disks replacement features, Scrub and Trim support, and something more. There are some critical things that need to be properly tested. We will keep you...

Yeah, we are working on that. Going to release Preview 5 version with new features till the end of May.

Hi, thank you for letting us know. There was an issue with SSL cert, now it's fixed.

Thanks. It definitely makes sense to monitor these particular SMART attributes in parallel (and/or highlight them when they RAW values are greater than zero). We've added a research task for that into our backlog. Probably we will add some kind of such monitoring in one of our next releases (at...

We use smartmontools to get the SMART data (the same package as in the article you mentioned). Poolsman mostly displays the data that it gets from this tool (the overall health state is also provided by this). Additionally we perform some minor transformations to make the data more friendly...

We are pleased to announce the 4th Poolsman preview release with significantly improved Pool Creation Wizard: Now you can add any number of disk groups (VDEVs, virtual devices) during pool creation. All types of disk groups (except very specific brand-new draid) are supported, including mirror...

Oh, you have a great machine that should work well with DB workload, but of course it depends on your expectations:-). The general recommendation from us is to not to use more than 10 drives in a disk group (VDEV). For your amount of SSD drives we would suggest: 10xMirrors (if you'd like to...
