Last version had a bug per the developer (no WebGUI) so need new docker for fix that was posted. Thanks.

The designations of the drives are assigned dynamically, even from one boot to another they can change. They are assigned as the linux kernel identifies then as they spin up and initialize. Go by the model/serial numbers. NEVER assume the same disk if all you are going by is sda, sdb, etc. It sounds as if you still have a disk.cfg file that points to the old disk config. What version of unRAID are you running? What version of the preclear script are you running? Type preclear_disk.sh -v to see the version. I'm using UnRaid 5.0 beta 11 and preclear version is 1.13. I am sure that sda, sdb etc. is not part of my array, so I know that is not the issue. Can you help me check the disk.cfg file. Thanks so much for your help.

Hello, I moved a six disk array to a new box/motherboard etc (Raj's 22 drive beast...thanks!). First I brought the six disk array back up without adding any drives, no issues. Then I added 7 new drives physically to the box. Brought back up unraid and saw that my six drives which were sda to sdf, were now sdh to sdm. The 7 new drives had been assigned sda to sdg. I started the arrray without assigning any of the new drives to Unraid. I then used putty to telnet to the box and tried to preclear sda, and I got the message that prclear won't run on a drive already in the array. Am I getting messed up because the original six drive array was sda-sdf (now sdh-sdm) so somehow preclear thinks they are already in the array. Any help would be appreciated. Also I haven't tried this yet but I'm assuming that it will allow me to preclear sdg only as that was never assigned to the original array. Thanks. Alan
