Unraid OS 7.2.0-rc.1 Now Available

We’ve hit a major milestone in the Unraid 7.2 cycle: Release Candidate 1 is now live . This update builds on the work from earlier betas, bringing stability, polish, and the final round of refinements before 7.2 goes stable.

What’s New and Noteworthy

Unraid 7.2 introduces major new features alongside significant fixes and refinements. Here are some of the the highlights:

Responsive WebGUI

The entire interface now adapts automatically to any screen size, making Unraid fully usable on phones, tablets, and desktop monitors.

Built-in Unraid API

The API is now part of the OS itself. It powers the new Notifications panel and lays the foundation for more in-GUI integrations and automation. Check out some of the community-driven features already being built.

RAIDZ Expansion

Grow single-vdev ZFS RAIDZ1/2/3 pools one drive at a time without taking your array offline.

Expanded Filesystem Support

Unraid now supports Ext2/3/4, NTFS, and exFAT in addition to XFS, BTRFS, and ZFS—making migration and drive reuse more flexible and convenient.

SSO + OIDC Login

You can now sign into the webgui with your Unraid.net account or any OIDC provider.

Dashboard & WebGUI Enhancements

CPU usage stats now come from the API
New Notifications management view (bell icon)
Force Install button for plugins
Countdown timer on login lockouts
Open Terminal tool added under Tools
Numerous fixes to alignment, popups, and dark mode

VM & Networking Improvements

Virtual sound card support in VMs
Better multi-monitor support
VM Manager now warns if PCI hardware assignments change
Docker IPv6 custom networks now support ULAs

Miscellaneous

eMMC support added
Thunderbolt devices auto-authorized when connected
Safer local login required for http://localhost. This improves security and allows Tailscale Funnel to work with the webGUI.

Deprecated Filesystem Warnings

The Main page now alerts you if drives are formatted with ReiserFS (deprecated in 7.3) or older XFS versions (to be retired by 2030), so you can plan ahead.

See the Converting to a new file system type section of the Unraid Docs for details.

Known Issues

Incompatible Plugins: Theme Engine, Dark Theme, and Dynamix Date Time will be automatically uninstalled, along with outdated versions of Unraid Connect.
Please update all plugins, especially Unraid Connect and the NVIDIA driver, before upgrading.
Some plugins may still show visual issues with the responsive webGUI. Please give plugin authors time to update.
