How is the drive management in OMV? I'm looking for something similar to UnRaid pools so i can add one drive at a time (ZFS makes you add vdevs of the same no. of drives).

I'm not too concerned with parity (ive got automated remote backups for sensitive info that I cant replace) but it would be good to know if I could swap drives out if I need to expand or replace anything too.

EDIT: with ZFS 2.3.0 supporting raid expansion, it might be worth me holding out for a year for that to become more stable, and migrate after. I only have 1 drive for now so it shouldnt be too bad if i made a new pool and moved stuff over to a 2nd drive

None yet. But comparisons ive seen (such as snapraid's website) suggested it was a limitation, but they could be quite old, still.

That's great to know, though. So no weird plugin management just using ZFS? Or would I need MergerFS in that scenario?

Not sure on MergerFS...I haven't gotten deep into ZFS pools.
