TyantA Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 So this is a first. I got my first WD Red 4TB in and started the pre-clear process. So far, I have had to reboot my new testbed (of old parts) twice as it seems to have locked. The total elapsed time, etc. doesn't move. I started the process Friday night and it's still going, apparently hung again. The rest of unraid seems to be responsive. I have attached diagnostics as I run off to work. tower-diagnostics-20180103-0430.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 If you're using the preclear plugin suggest you use the preclear script instead, currently many users have issues with it, mostly with larger drives. Quote Link to comment
TyantA Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Oh interesting. I hadn't heard that. Yes, I'm using the plugin. Well I am hoping it's a software issue and not hardware. It's still going, on the 3rd cycle, but says it's averaging 64MB/s which seems really slow. Quote Link to comment
TyantA Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Well after 3+ days it says the preclear finished. I have another drive showing up tomorrow... I'll use the script. Should I trust this preclear done via the plugin? The write speeds were horrendous, but I don't have a point of comparison, not having owned reds before. Quote Link to comment
TyantA Posted January 6, 2018 Author Share Posted January 6, 2018 So... I tried using the script yesterday, ran into the "device is busy", which directed me to threads saying as of 6.2, the script isn't useful; use the plugin. Sigh. I wish I still had a copy of 6.1.9 kicking around for a testbed. Started the preclear with the most recent arrival and it got 6 hours in - stuck. Time for another reboot... 18 hours later when I noticed it. So much wasted time! Quote Link to comment
