Unraid OS 7.2.1-rc.1 Now Available

What’s New and Noteworthy

WebGUI Updates

• Improved CPU Detection: Dashboard now more accurately detects newer Intel CPUs.
• Notification Agents: Fixed dropdown menu not functioning in tabbed mode.
• Temperature Display: Resolved a visual error affecting temperature data in notifications.

Storage Improvements

• Auto File System Pools: All slots in a pool must now be populated when File System Type is set to Auto.
• New Config Workflow: When using “New Config” with Preserve Assignments, the number of pool slots will now match the number of disks.
• Dataset Handling: Improved behavior if a zfs destroy fails due to a busy dataset (it will attempt to remount).
• Share Creation Logic: Shares created without a config file now only store data on eligible pools.
• DeviceInfo Panel: “Pool Device Status” section only appears when the pool is actually mounted.
• Empty Disk Conversion: Share data remains visible on the target disk during the operation. [See updated Converting to a new file system type].
• Mover Script Update: Removed -e option from the mover script—use the webGUI instead.
• SMART Logging: Reduced excess logs related to drive spin down and SMART tests.

Miscellaneous Fixes & Enhancements

• Windows Network Discovery: Improved WSD/NetBIOS discovery so Unraid appears correctly in Windows’ Network view.
• Machine ID Generation: /boot/config/machine-id is now auto-generated and applied to /etc/machine-id on boot.
• WSD Patch: Patched wsdd2 to function even when “Host access to custom networks” is enabled.
  (Note: Discovery still typically fails when Tailscale is in use.)

Kernel & Base System

• Linux Kernel: 6.12.54-Unraid (no version change from 7.2.0).
