Please send me - PM - your Diagnostics file .

Glad it worked nicely.

Can't find the bug. I've added some verbosity to version 2020.12.13b, please update and try again, and if it fails please send me your logs.

Please PM me your Diagnostics file.

Yep, that's the bug I fixed yesterday.

Sometimes, when I get a bad array drive, I take the chance and test some safety mesures I put on the code, like webgui lock prevention, prevent filling up the rootfs etc. This time I tried to intercept some errors from the code and export them out to the logs, but there are some commands which normally exites in errors, like the <cmp> compare program we use to verify the zeroing of the disk that exits with an error simply because it reaches the end of file. So this was a regression introduced recently in the script, and it's fixed now. Thanks for reporting!

Ok, now I nailed the bastard. Please update your plugin. Thanks for reporting.

You have to click on that red X to clean your preclear session to format your drives. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

Have you updated nthe plugin recently? If you can, please send me a PM with your Diagnostics file.

They are benign, I just left those there so I can see the comparison is working accordingly. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

That's because when the Docker Plugin was developed (2014) there was no Docker Compose available. In the very beginning I opted for a XML format due to better support from PHP than YAML. Update it now will lead to many problems and a massive rewrite on the code and how things works nowadays. Maybe a dependency check could suffice, but even this won't be trivial to implement.

Ok, I think I fixed the bug. Please update and test it if you could. Thanks for your assistance. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

If it's reading the disk (Pre or Post Reads) it's safe to stop the current preclear session and add it to the disk. If it's zeroing the disk, if you stop the session and add it to the array the disk will be cleared by Unraid again.

Of course you can. In the Start Preclear menu, in Operation, just select Verify MBR Only or Verify All the Disk.

Please take a look at the post right before yours. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

@stepmback, I didn't see any error with preclear, but you do have a bad drive. It keeps disconnecting and reconnecting from the HBA, and perhaps the preclear session didn't started because it can't access the device after you start it.

Apparently DoD does not have a method of choosing to erase non classified media, and classified media has classified methods of disposal. We can use NIST to do so: According to the 2014 NIST Special Publication 800-88 Rev. 1, Section 2.4 (p. 7): "For storage devices containing magnetic media, a single overwrite pass with a fixed pattern such as binary zeros typically hinders recovery of data even if state of the art laboratory techniques are applied to attempt to retrieve the data."[23] It recommends cryptographic erase as a more general mechanism. So if you run an Erase and Clear the Disk operation, you will random fill and then zero fill your disk, making it virtually impossible to be recovered. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

If you wish you can run a Verify All the Disk operation just to make sure it's correctly precleared. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

No other script needed, just install and run.

You don't need to wait, just stop the running preclean, change cables and resume the running instance. Enviado de meu SM-N970F usando o Tapatalk

That's probably the cause, no media errors and no SMART errors shown. Take a look into your SATA and power cable connectors.

Hi guys, just bumped into this: https://pikvm.org/ Apparently it convert a Raspberry Pi into a capable IP KVM. If you like it, you can support the production of a HAT that seamlessly integrates into the Pi with no solder required.

Hey guys, I've been away for some time now, but I'm getting back. The problem was at some time in May my server stopped working. Since me and my family were living in our farm because of the Covid pandemic, I had no time to fix it and release updates to te plugin. The internet cover was non existent, so it keeps me from actively support this plugin. So no more excuses, let's start fixing things. When you see Joe L., it is the Joe L. script modified by bjp999, with the fast read option. Thanks for reporting, I'll investigate and submit a fix soon. No errors there, sometimes dd do hang and the script can kill it and start it again from the point it stopped. Yes, they can if the installation process fails. Since it doesn't check if you have a working internet connection, it can fail if no internet is available. Your drive seems ok, there is a script error somewhere I need to patch. Yep, that's it. It will check for the rotational status instead of discard availability in the next version. My script supports resume for some time now, at the expense of writing some data every 5 minutes on the flash drive. Glad it helped you. If it's running the second cycle, you can assume it passed the first one and stop it if you like.

Not a bad drive, just your preclear signature was mot written correctly. Try again, skipping the pre-read to speed up the process.
