  1. I have a similar issue, I guess, my cache disk - holding the docker and libvirt images - does not unmount leading to a "forced shutdown" and a parity rebuild on startup (in my case, about eleven hours :(). FYI, I use both docker and VMs.

     

    The problem is, I do not have time to bring relevant information to this discussion right now. Maybe I will be able to do try a few things and provide a diagnostic file in a few days.

     

    Cheers.

    Searched this thread but didn't really find what I was after. I'm completely new to Unraid (in fact I haven't even booted it up yet, still doing research) so bear that in mind if my question isn't phrased as well as it could be.

    Is this plugin in any way a replacement for badblocks? From watching a Spaceinvader video (this one) I see you can do a pre-read, post-read and define a number of cycles.

    If not, is there a recommended way of testing new drives for "infant mortality" with Unraid? I've used badblocks in the past but it's a pain in the ass, I had to use all sorts of workarounds for bigger drives due to 32bit limitations and I don't remember what I did (I'm ready to leave no gui Ubuntu server behind forever).

    Seems like it's an outdated piece of software that people are clinging to.

    I guess the answer is yes. 
     

    Even though the plug-in clears the disks (and marks them as such) in order to avoid an unnecessary parity reconstruction when added to the array, it can also « stress test » the disks in order to highlight such defects. It must be emphasized the disk content are cleared.

    Preclears are done in the background so you don't have to leave any consoles open.  The Tmux package is included so the preclears can run on background consoles.  Please do not update the Tmux package through the NerdPack GUI.  The latest version of Tmux has a bug and messes up the status display because the terminal size is defaulted to 24x80 and can't be changed.

     

    Hi.

     

    I have Tmux installed through the NerdPack as I use it often to run (time consuming) scripts or commands from the terminal. Should I actually uninstall the NerdPack Tmux package before installing this UD Preclear plugin?

     

    Thanks.

    I am having similar problems. What modifications did you remove?

    I solved it by following the SpaceInvaderOne video, ending with the same configuration as above.

    The trick, for me at least, has been to unmount **all** the Unraid shares from my mac, then to only mount the Time Machine share, in order to be able to see the disk in Time Machine. I am not sure why this worked, so I will not try to rationalize it. I am on Big Sur by the way.
