Question: I've used this script many times and I'm perplexed. I cd /boot preclear_disk.sh -A /dev/sdm, but all it does is bring up this:

 

 

Looks like you might be using an older version of the script?, the -A option was only added in recent updates.

Hi,

 

I've had a 1.5tb drive in my array for ~6 months and the other day unraid flagged it as having an error so I've swapped the drive

out with another 1.5tb drive.

 

I plugged the old drive into a test unraid machine and ran 2 passes of preclear on it to check SMART status, etc.

 

I've attached the preclear log, are any of the SMART attributes bad enough for RMA?

 

Thanks in advance,

David

 

EDIT: Attached the other 2 log files

 

Seems drive was failing.

As far as I know you can assign just a partition for cache from what people have said but don't quote me on that

don't absolutely need one, really. just that the case is crowded. the 2.5" is in a different bay. sad thing is, even the 250 is too much... all i'm going to use it for is the ESXi datastore (trying that esxi+unraid combo box).

 

but you are right, for just a bit more, i can get a whole 2TB. maybe i should just do that.. grrr decisions decisions.

 

Could always use the rest of the 2TB drive as cache?
