That was annoying. I had not rebooted my server in about 160 days. Everything was fine so why bother. I just rebooted the server and now i am able to pre-clear the drive. Bug?

I got another drive and installed and am having the same issue. I noticed on the last drive I was getting Seek error rate numbers and on this NEW drive I am getting them again. This time 483. Is this another bad drive or I am just doing something wrong?

I just added a new 8TB drive to my server and am attempting to preclear the drive. I see the drive in unassigned devices and in the preclear plugin. I clicked the start preclear link and it shows as "starting". Does not start the actual preclear process. I tried this twice. Bad drive? Do I need to format it? Here is what is showing in the log: Mar 8 13:02:23 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] 15628053168 512-byte logical blocks: (8.00 TB/7.28 TiB) Mar 8 13:02:23 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] 4096-byte physical blocks Mar 8 13:02:23 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] Write Protect is off Mar 8 13:02:23 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] Mode Sense: 7f 00 00 08 Mar 8 13:02:23 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Mar 8 13:02:23 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] Attached SCSI disk Mar 8 13:12:24 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] Synchronizing SCSI cache Mar 8 13:12:24 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:12:0: [sdo] Synchronize Cache(10) failed: Result: hostbyte=0x01 driverbyte=0x00 Mar 8 13:12:49 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:13:0: [sdo] 15628053168 512-byte logical blocks: (8.00 TB/7.28 TiB) Mar 8 13:12:49 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:13:0: [sdo] 4096-byte physical blocks Mar 8 13:12:49 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:13:0: [sdo] Write Protect is off Mar 8 13:12:49 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:13:0: [sdo] Mode Sense: 7f 00 00 08 Mar 8 13:12:49 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:13:0: [sdo] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Mar 8 13:12:49 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:13:0: [sdo] Attached SCSI disk

I know... sorry. Was going to delete. Thanks!

I have an Express VPN acct I would like to setup on my Unraid 6.8.3 so my Plex docker goes through it. I don't use torrents and just want to setup for Plex. I have seen several videos and posts for torrents but can't find anything about setting up just for Plex. Any help is appreciated.

If this no the right thread to be posted in can someone point me to a different place? Thanks, Stephen

I ended up getting a replacement drive. Put it in and started preclear. No problems.. it is running.. I guess a bad drive. gfjardim... do you know what disk is going bad?

I looked in Disk setting and see that I can set as a percentage the amount of space to leave. Is there a way to set the exact amount instead of a percentage? 10% of a 8 tb drive is a lot of space to leave open... While I am fine with leaving 10% on a 2 tb drive.

Do I need to stop the array or do anything to my setup if I want to perform a SMART test on some drives?

Any insight into what may be going on? I think I just have a bad disk.

I just added a brand new 8TB drive to my server. I clicked unassigned devices so it would show up. It took a while for it to be listed. I went into unassigned devices and looked at the log and see this: Oct 7 11:51:56 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:21:0: [sdn] 15628053168 512-byte logical blocks: (8.00 TB/7.28 TiB) Oct 7 11:51:56 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:21:0: [sdn] 4096-byte physical blocks Oct 7 11:51:56 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:21:0: [sdn] Write Protect is off Oct 7 11:51:56 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:21:0: [sdn] Mode Sense: 7f 00 00 08 Oct 7 11:51:56 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:21:0: [sdn] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA Oct 7 11:51:56 AUBURN kernel: sd 7:0:21:0: [sdn] Attached SCSI disk Oct 7 11:53:04 AUBURN unassigned.devices: Error: shell_exec(/usr/sbin/hdparm -C /dev/sdn 2>/dev/null | /bin/grep -c standby) took longer than 10s!

When it did show up this is what is showing in the unassigned device area: I can't click format. I decided to go in and try to pre-clear the drive and when I select start pre-clear the process starts but just shows as starting.... I gave it about 30 minutes but still shows as starting. I stopped the pre-clear and status still showed as starting. I cleared the status so now it says Start Preclear. I removed the drive and inserted it back in. I it recognized the drive and started preclear. Now it stuck on starting for 1 hour. Attaching diagnostics. Am I doing something wrong? Bad disk? Anything I should be checking? auburn-diagnostics-20201007-1439.zip

I removed the disk and waited a minute then re-inserted it. This time the unassigned devices saw the disk. I just restarted the preclear again but it shows as starting... it has been this way for about 10 minutes and still there.

I have two 8 TB parity drives and 9 other disks. Some are 8TB and others are 3 TB and 4TB. All the 4 TB and 8 TB drives are about 90% full. Is there a best practice for how full you should let the drives get before I add another disk? Should I go past 90% on the 8 TB that is about 500GB of space left unused.
