It’s proprietary, after all. I understand paid is fine, but even then, it usually better be open source.

So, why is Unraid an exception ?

Thanks

    Mergerfs can do that too and you can keep the underlying fs as whatever you want.

      It has no parity, you can pair with snapraid but thats snapshot parity and not real-time parity. Depends on the use case if that would work or not.

      Also no caching options.

        Valid points. I use it for my media collection I can easily restore and won’t miss. Cache would be sort of nice to have and redundancy would just be wasting space.

      Yes, but it does not have redundancy or caching. Redundancy can be achieved with snapraid, but how you get caching I don’t know…

        Doesn’t work for every use case, but perfect for mine. I was just pointing out other options.

          And that is good! It would have been a better answer if you mentioned these major limitations as well so that interested people don’t need to look it up :)
