[Re: preclear_disk.sh - a new utility to burn-in and pre-clear disks for quick add]

How much RAM do you have?  Does your server successfully pass memtest for 24 hours or more?  That sounds like it could be a RAM issue to me.  Also, can you successfully preclear one disk at a time instead of both at once?

 

The system uses a 2.8Ghz Celeron CPU, 1GB RAM. Yes it does, or did when I last tried it, pass the memtest.

 

I have attached a syslog, the errors at the end of the log (or rather what unmenu reports as errors) are what occurred as soon as I started, again, the preclear on one drive.

Hi,

 

I hope that you can help.

 

I have two WD 2TB EARS drive without jumper and I am running 4.7 UnRaid. I have tried to run the preclear utility a few times now and wither it locks up after several hours or it will effect the performance of the server to such an extent I have quit it (ie I have been watching a few films whilst the Preclear is running without a problem then suddenly the video comes to a halt or very nearly, killing the preclear script allows the server to work fine again.)

 

Should I be able to run the script on a working server?

 

Thanks
