Thanks for the reply Joe. Is that normal to run out of memory for 3 preclears running at the same time? I have 8GB RAM in the server and only did it because the FAQ mentioned 4 or more preclears shouldn't be run at the same time. After the second crash, I formatted the usb drive and reloaded again from scratch. I just started the preclear on one drive only. As of 7am this morning it seems to be still going so hopefully it'll go ok all the way till the end and I can start the 2nd one tonight.

Hi, I'm new to unRaid and having been reading through the various FAQ's and Configuration Tutorials and was running the preclear on 3 WD20EARX drives (2TB). I had it running from around 10pm on Tuesday night (4/24/12). The three drives were setup to run preclear at the console (not telnet). Various times i checked on the status they were running, however when I came home from work today at around 7.30pm (4/25/12) I saw that the VTerm seemed to be showing error messages with a bunch of text. I couldn't switch to the different VTerminals using Alt+F1/F2/F3. Basically the system seemed frozen with a blinking cursor, keyboard would not respond and I couldn't connect via a web browser from my laptop. I was only able to take a picture since the keyboard wouldn't respond, so no logs. Can anyone decipher what the screenshot is indicating? I restarted the preclearing on all 3 drives again hoping it was just a fluke or something. I have a HP Proliant NL40 with 8GB RAM and 3 WD20EARX (2TB drives). Lenovo USB flash drive (1GB) with the latest beta version of unRaid 5.0.14 Beta. I used the -A for preclearing also. Picture was too big too attach so hopefully the links below work. TIA *EDIT* checked status again and its happened again, same or similar screen... but this time within the last 2hrs preclear was running. Should I try running preclear on one drive at a time?
