Hi IW,
Can you confirm if you will ever produce drivers to allow thunderbolt connectivity within UnRAID?
It’s a generic thunderbolt connection. Linux has native drivers. You need to bug unraid to move to Linux Kernel 6.8 and ensure they have the thunderbolt modules loaded.
short version, its not Zima’s job to fix unraids lack of thunderbolt support.

Hello they have moved to the latest kernel update under Unraid 7 beta, and yet I can seem to find ant thunderbolt network interfaces.
IW please respond
do you find being demanding like that works for you? You do realize this is a community board and not a support channel right?
You should ask Unraid why thunderbolt-net driver is not working in their version of Linux (for example maybe they didn’t include thunderbolt in their kernel)
also note:
- no adapters will show with
ip aif the cables are not connected - if both machines are linux one machine needs to issue
modprobe thunderbolt-netor modify the modprob file to do this at boot - if the other machine is windows / mac you need to ensure thunderbolt is working correctly (for example on windows this can sometimes take a reboot of the PC while the PC is connected to the ZC - this is a windows issue
- make sure you are using a short TB4 certified cable, OWC are good, i have never got Cable Matters ceritfied cables working with TB-net - they seem to have issues
tl;dr you most likely have a non-IW issue, put ZimaOS back on you ZC and validate the TB functionality. If it doesn’t work with ZimaOS and you have checked the things above then maybe you have a hardware issue. This is unlikely.
Shove your attitude where the sun don’t shine. I’m hardly being demanding by asking IW to respond. They are quick to message me about my cooler mods!
