About 42 hours in that case,

If you have a Seagate Archive drive, you should expect longer write times. Some 8TB drives takes 45 hours for a single cycle.

Hi! Some dd errors are not really errors, I'm afraid. I tried to catch abnormal dd exit status, but unfortunately dd trow all errors under exit code 1. Post read fase, for example, will always have dd trowing exit status 1 because the piped command, cmp (which verifies the zeroed state), trow a 1 exit status on end of the disk. The short answer: don't take those errors on account. If the preclear has been successful, the script will let you know. The Verify All the Disk option is based on the same routine as Post-Read, so both execute the same job. Cheers.

Please update your plugins to 2017.03.23: ###2017.03.23 - Fix: mismatch short serial numbers - bug introduced in the last version - Fix: preclear not stopping on Windows browsers

Mainly a possible merge into unRAID itself. I record Tom saying Highcharts being the major reason not to integrate System Stats due to it's license cost. Today I found D3.js and remembered that post.

@bonienl, is D3.js a suitable replacement for Highcharts in System Stats?

Please send me the plugin log (see the OP for instructions if needed).

I'll implement a workaround so you can use the updated plugin. Will update the OP to reflect this information. Thanks. Just type preclear in the SSH session. This will take a longer time to trace and debug. I'll try to fix it ASAP.

That's awesome support ! Kudos ! It wasn't a script error; the disk was assigned to the array and showed as missing; Unassigned Devices showed the disk but the script refused to clear it, since it's serial number was still in super.dat. Not always we have the time, but today I had a few minutes to take a look into this.

If you can, please open a browser session, a SSH/Telnet session and send me a TeamViewer Remote Session by PM.

I'm getting the same error message on my terminal after updating. Please update your plugins.

It works remotely only via OpenVPN or similar. Yes, it needs access to the webGUI port. Maybe your companion plugin could act as a bridge between the webui and internet, adding some sort of token authentication.

Was this feature removed? I'm using latest preclear and trying to stop the array during a preclear doesn't work anymore, stuck on sync filesystems... Any idea why this stopped working? It's not just me as I've seen at least a couple of users with the same problem recently. Bug found and squashed in 2017.02.16 update. Thank you for reporting this.

Hi Poprin. The Statistics plugin is an optional part of Preclear that sends reports using TOR and Google Forms. All data is anonymous (no passwords or serial numbers) and sent using TOR to avoid your IP address get logged. You can see what gets reported by opening one of the report files (*.sreport | *.sreport.sent) under /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/. TOR is only enabled as client and only activated while sending the report, so I highly doubt it's the key of your problems. The source code of the script that sends the report can be found here. If you find any security hole in that routine, please don't hesitate in contacting me, ok?

You have to add the disk directly into your XML. 1) Open an SSH/Telnet session to your server and run find /dev/disk/by-id ! \( -iname "*-part*" -o -iname "wwn-*" \) You must save the entry for your SSD, e.g. /dev/disk/by-id/ata-Samsung_SSD_840_EVO_250GB_XXXXXXXXXX. 2) Edit your VM XML file, changing it accordingly:

You're quite welcome!

Hi. First step is to remove and install this plugin again, to make sure it's in the latest version. The next step is choose which script you want to use to preclear; if you use mine, all you have to do is start the preclear. If you want to Joe L. script, you have to follow the steps on the OP, and then patch the script like described here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13054.msg510567#msg510567

This is in /Main or in /Tools/Preclear page? Main. The GUI is unresponsive now. I entered "smartctl -a -A /dev/sde &" via ssh and the command has not returned. I think it will eventually. It seems to hang until the zeroing is done. When the disk's firmware is performing any task (like remap a bad sector, retry a read etc...) it will become unresponsive to any query, specially SMART ones. The Preclear plugin page will cache most of the data needed to render, and only probe the temperature every 5 minutes, but not all pages will do the same; Unassigned Devices uses some caching, but I think it probes the temperature every time. Because of all of that, you have an unresponsive webUI. There isn't a fix for that; either you preclear those drives in other machine or you wait until the preclear is done.

This is in /Main or in /Tools/Preclear page? You're welcome!

I'm pretty sure you are stuck with an old version. Please remove and reinstall the plugin.

Hi guys, I have some news. Some of the reports you sent are being invaluable to track bugs. One of them is related to "Erase" function not executing properly. Hopefully this is fixed in the current version, so please update your plugin. Another functionality I added is "Erase and Clear the Disk". This is a "partial" fulfillment of dgaschk's request, because it won't intercalate between random and zero data writing. Instead it will erase the disk with random data and then write zeroes on it. In The Statistics Sender plugin, I added a Dismissed Statistics Reports under /Tools. If you dismissed a report and want to send it later, you can go there and submit it later. Well, just a reminder: please keep your plugins updated. Some of the reports I'm receiving are from old versions, and contain some errors that have already been squashed.

Each function the script run in parallel fork the script into another pid, simple as that. Let's see. In clearing operation, we have the parent PID, the write function PID, display refresh function PID, and so goes on...

Was there a solution for this? I'm experiencing the same issue. Please send me the log: go to /Tools/Preclear and click on the icon to download it, then upload it here.

Please update both plugins and restart your server to clear any leftovers. What you wish to accomplish with that?
