📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation updates: add a deprecation note in 7.0.0 release notes about the removed mover CLI option, add a new 7.2.1 release-notes doc with detailed changelog and guidance, and update the file-systems user guide to reflect WebGUI vs CLI mover behavior across versions.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Release notes
docs/unraid-os/release-notes/7.0.0.md, docs/unraid-os/release-notes/7.2.1.md
Inserted a deprecation warning in 7.0.0.md noting removal of the mover -e CLI option in 7.2.1 and linking to conversion guidance. Added 7.2.1.md (7.2.1-rc.1) with upgrade guidance, known-issues/rollback references, and a "Changes vs. 7.2.0" section covering webGUI, Storage, Misc, Linux kernel, and base distro updates.
User guide (file systems)
docs/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems.mdx
Updated "Via the WebGUI" header to reference Unraid 7.2+, added bullets explaining data visibility/write-behavior differences between 7.2.0 and 7.2.1+, clarified mover behavior (moves files according to share settings), and limited the command-line workflow to Unraid 7.0–7.1 with an added "Or manually:" step.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 3 (Moderate) | ⏱️ ~20 minutes

  • Verify consistency between docs/unraid-os/release-notes/7.2.1.md and docs/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems.mdx about empty-disk visibility and mover -e removal.
  • Confirm the link in 7.0.0.md points to the correct conversion guide and that dates/versions in 7.2.1.md are accurate.
  • Quick pass for formatting, headings, and internal cross-references.

Poem

🐇
I hopped across the changelog glade,
A tiny note the devs had made.
The mover now prefers a GUI dance—
I twitched my whiskers, gave a glance,
And celebrated docs that prance. 🎉

1-54: Well-structured release notes document with appropriate internal links.

The release notes follow the established format with clear sections (Upgrading, Known issues, Rolling back, and detailed Changes breakdown). Relative file links for internal documentation are properly formatted, and the document filename adheres to the lowercase, dash-separated convention. Content aligns well with the PR objectives and companion documentation updates (7.0.0 deprecation note and file-systems guide updates).

54-54: Minor: Consider rephrasing for clarity.

The phrase "patched to not exclude" is grammatically acceptable but slightly awkward. Consider rephrasing to "patched not to exclude" for more natural flow in technical documentation.

19-50: Comprehensive changelog with clear categorization.

The changes are well-organized by component (webGUI, Storage, Misc, Linux kernel, Base distro updates). Descriptions are concise and action-oriented. The cross-reference at line 33 to the file-systems documentation for mover behavior is helpful for users transitioning from the command-line -e option to the webGUI workflow.


1-15: All relative links verified and valid.

The verification confirms all internal documentation links resolve correctly:

  • Links to upgrading, licensing FAQ, and file-systems documentation exist ✓
  • References to 7.2.0 release notes (both #known-issues and #rolling-back anchors) are valid ✓

The release notes follow proper documentation practices with relative path linking.

1-54: Document structure and content are well-organized.

The release notes follow proper documentation conventions with clear sections, appropriate heading hierarchy, and a comprehensive changelog organized by domain. The formatting is consistent with other Unraid release notes. The file naming (7.2.1.md), location, and relative link usage align with the contribution checklist requirements.


1-54: Verify internal link paths before merge.

The document uses relative links to internal wiki pages (e.g., 7.2.0.md, upgrading-unraid.mdx, file-systems.mdx). Ensure all referenced files exist and the relative paths are correct in the deployed documentation structure.

Run the following script to verify the referenced documentation files exist:

- Fix: DeviceInfo: Only show 'Pool Device Status' section when pool is mounted
- Fix: Empty Disk feature: share data on target disk(s) now remains visible during operation, see [Converting to a new file system type](../using-unraid-to/manage-storage/file-systems.mdx#converting-to-a-new-file-system-type) for usage details.
- Removed '-e' option from 'mover' script; use the webGUI now
- Fix: Reduce excess logging related to drive spin down and SMART self-tests

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix hyphenation in compound adjective.

The phrase "drive spin down" should be hyphenated as "drive spin-down" when used as a compound adjective modifying "logging."

In docs/unraid-os/release-notes/7.2.1.md around line 35, the compound adjective
"drive spin down" should be hyphenated; change "drive spin down" to "drive
spin-down" in the sentence so it reads "Reduce excess logging related to drive
spin-down and SMART self-tests."
