From the first post in this thread-

There is also the option available to use the notification options configured in unRAID to send you notifications at intervals which you configure if you enable the notifications option in the preclear popup window. I usually prefer to receive an email at the end of every step and cycle.

 

@wgstarks I appreciate your response! I ended up letting it sit for over an hour to see if I'd get anything and below is all that showed up in the logs.

 

Apr 3 18:24:55 Preclear script invoked as: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/unassigned.devices.preclear/scripts/preclear_disk.sh --cycles 1 --no-prompt /dev/sdm
Apr 3 19:33:46 Preclear stopped on all devices
Apr 3 19:33:53 Preclear stopped on device: WD-CA3BXN1K

 

It doesn't look to me like it did anything. Any thoughts on what could be wrong?

[Unassigned Devices Preclear - a utility to preclear disks before adding them to the array]

I'm attempting to do a preclear on a new 8TB drive. I plugged the drive into a hot swap bay, and it shows up in Unassigned Devices and the Preclear Disk plugin. I start the preclear using the default options and hit Start. The drive list in Preclear says "Starting... X", and there is only one line in the Preclear logs executing the script with the selected options. I have not stopped my array to assign the drive yet.

 

My question is, how soon should I start seeing logs that something is happening or some kind of indicator that the script has actually started?
