Hi,
I've been tinkering with Unraid trial. Yesterday I received the HDD's and they are currently doing preclear on a temporary flash drive with an expired trial.
My question is this - when preclear finishes I will buy a new flash drive for the permanent license and boot from it. Will an installation of Unraid detect the precleared disks even if it itself did not perform the preclear? In other words, is the preclear stored on the HDD and recognized on other unraid installations?
Does pre clear also mean the array parity will not need to be built as the drives are 'cleared'? (this will save 20hours of disk activity)
Thanks,
