Wow that is news to me. Looks like 5.13 is eol according to this. https://github.com/fabianishere/pve-edge-kernel I will stay on the 5.11 kernel for now.
Thanks
Mind you,this is Ubuntu kernel, so they will backport everything that is needed to be up-to-date. RHEL and Centos have much much older kernels that are backported, so that you have maybe 3.10-1000 or more updates.
This is perfectly okay.
i really hope that rsnapshot doesn't get replaced it doesn't seem to be eol anyway
borg will be the next plugin I port.
are you planning to finish mergerfs first? i see now a lot of plugins ported, while this core functionality is missing (unless there's another way to merge my folders with same content across multiple drives into a single share, that i am not aware of)

I haven't looked at that plugin recently because it is a frustrating change. So, I am trying to get others done that are more straightforward. I understand it is "core" functionality but I really don't see any reason for most people to upgrade to OMV 6.x yet.
Awesome..... I ported the rsnapshot plugin and rsnapshot isn't available in the Debian 11 repos. grrrr....
Would it be possible to release the plugin for a manual installation from rsnapshot.org?

There is nothing preventing you from configuring mergerfs by hand in fstab. I have always done it this way so I don't need the plugins. The way I have it setup I have been able to add new disks over the years and not had to change the mergerfs configuration at all.

I already put the rsnapshot package from sid in the omv-extras repo for the plugin to use - RE: omv-extras plugins - porting progress to OMV 6.x

Thanks for the explanation, that gives some understanding why this plugin is stuck in progress for a long time. I know the feeling of frustrating tasks too well...
That would be of great help if you solve the problem. Setting up ZFS in the CLI is child's play.
There is no rush, of course. At your own pace and in order.
I have installed ZFS plugin, imported my pool, installed sharerootfs plugin but still cannot see my pool under shared folders. Did I miss a step?
but still cannot see my pool under shared folders.
Exactly where are you looking?
in the GUI under shared folders. When I try to create one it only shows me the install drive.

I haven't done it yet, I'm still on OMV5 so I'm not sure. If I have understood correctly, the process should be: install the ZFS plugin, install the sharerootfs plugin, import the ZFS group (in CLI) to a folder in /.
Then you must create a shared folder, in "Access permissions" "Shared folders", press "+ Add", select the device where OMV is (in my case /dev/sdg1, or whatever it is in yours) In the path box, click on the icon and display the list of folders in /, find the folder corresponding to your ZFS group and select it., create the shared folder. Then you can share it on samba or NFS.
Did you do all this?

+1
After mooving to OMV6 I have gone the same route with MergerFS and also LUKs which I installed and configured by hand. It's not difficult at all once you put the effort to read through the docs. Advantage to me: I do not have to rely on OMV but can configure these things outside.
When I try to create one it only shows me the install drive.
If the pool/vdev/etc isn't added to the database then the shared folder dropdown won't show it. I have to try to remember if existing pools can be imported and database entries created. Until then, you will have to use path via sharerootfs.
It doesn't seem as if the Symlinks plugin works (at least the GUI link is broken). When you click on the "+" to create a symlink, nothing happens (this is under OMV 6 of course).

Try ctrl-shift-R. It is working fine on three systems for me.

The plugin doesn't work for me either.
The "+" button works, but when I try to browse a directory I've got an error
When I try to edit an existing one, the system logs off.

Install the sharerootfs plugin. I haven't pushed out the update that install the plugin as a dependency.

Yes, problem solved.
Thanks Ryecoaaron for your hard work

Jeez, I feel like such a noob. Yes, it works now after a refresh.
Thanks!
