Unraid OS 7.2.0 Stable is Now Available
|
||
=======================================
|
||
|
||
Unraid 7.2.0 delivers a **fully responsive web interface, expanded filesystem support, a built-in, open-source API**, **ZFS RAIDZ Expansion,** and much more!
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
**Your Server: More Responsive, Secure, and More Flexible than ever.**
|
||
|
||
Building on months of testing and feedback, this release brings major quality-of-life improvements for new and seasoned users alike. Whether you're upgrading your homelab or deploying at scale, this release brings more control, compatibility, and confidence to every system.
|
||
|
||
We want to give a huge thanks to the _over 5,000 beta testers_ that helped bring this release to Stable.
|
||
|
||
**Fully Responsive WebGUI**
|
||
---------------------------
|
||
|
||
Unraid now adapts seamlessly to any screen size. The redesigned WebGUI ensures smooth operation across desktops, tablets, and mobile devices making it easier than ever to manage your server from anywhere, with any device.
|
||

**Expand Your RAIDZ Pools and Bring Every Drive With You**
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
### **ZFS RAIDZ Expansion**
|
||
|
||
You can now expand your single-vdev RAIDZ1/2/3 pools, one drive at a time!
|
||
|
||
1. Stop the array
|
||
2. On _**Main → Pool Devices,**_ add a slot to the pool
|
||
3. Select the appropriate drive. _Note: must be at least as large as the smallest drive in the pool._
|
||
4. Start the array
|
||
|
||
### See How RAIDZ Expansion Works
|
||
|
||
### **External Drive Support: ext2/3/4, NTFS, exFAT**
|
||
|
||
Alongside XFS, BTRFS, and the ZFS file systems, Unraid now supports ext2 / ext3 / ext4, NTFS, and exFAT out of the box, making it easier to import data from external sources or legacy systems.
|
||
|
||
This means you can _create an array or single device pool with existing drives formatted in Ext2/3/4 or NTFS, and you can format drives in Ext4 or NTFS._

||

**Unraid API**
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
The [**Unraid API**](https://docs.unraid.net/API/)
|
||
is now integrated directly into Unraid OS, giving developers and power users new ways to interact with their systems.
|
||
|
||
The new **Notifications panel** is the first major feature built on this foundation, and over time, more of the webGUI will transition to use the API for faster, more dynamic updates.
|
||
|
||
The API is fully [**open source**](https://github.com/unraid/api)
|
||
, providing direct access to system data and functionality for building automations, dashboards, and third‑party integrations. It also supports [**external authentication (OIDC)**](https://docs.unraid.net/API/oidc-provider-setup/)
|
||
for secure, scalable access.
|
||
