ZfDash v1.9.3-beta

ZfDash v1.9.3-beta

Changes in this release:

• Critical Fix: GUI/WebUI: Special VDEVs (logs, cache, spare, special, dedup) now correctly appear in pool tree view. Previously these were missing due to JSON/text parsing issues.
• Fix: GUI/WebUI: Remove VDEV button no longer activates on container nodes (logs, spares, etc.) - only on actual removable devices within them.
• Fix: JSON parser now correctly handles l2cache key (ZFS uses this instead of cache internally).
• Fix: Legacy text parser now correctly parses special vdev containers that appear at pool root indentation level.
• Improvement: Parser includes dedup vdev support for both JSON and legacy modes.
• Improvement: Docker: Added /run/udev mount for better device detection.

IMPORTANT: This is BETA software. Use cautiously, ensure backups, and change the default Web UI password (admin/admin) immediately. Incorrect use can lead to PERMANENT DATA LOSS.
