Thanks for the information. Ok, I think the drives I have run are good so far. The 3rd batch of 6 drives has finished since my last post. When I get home tonight, I'll be running my 4th and final batch of drives on this server through preclear. Preclear actually does recognize my 3TB HDD's (as you can see from the detailed report I attached in my previous post). It's just unRAID that doesn't. I'm hoping that the stable 5.0 release will be ready by the time I run my final set of HDD's through preclear. And when it is ready, I'll find out if it can recognize my multiple controller cards.

If you've been following my posts, I'm new to unRAID. I don't have it installed yet even, but I am going through the process of preclearing all of my drives on my newest server. I have 24 HDD's that I'm going through the preclear process and am on my 3rd batch of 6. I can only run 6 drives at a time as my multiple controller cards are not recognized by version 4.7. And I'm not interested in testing out the development series yet. I will wait until I have run through all my preclear checks. I am running each drive 6 times through preclear, as I do not want to worry much about having a failure. It takes a lot of time to recover from one, and I currently have one of my servers sitting around waiting until I have time to correct/replace one of it's faulty drives. It takes a lot to get into my servers as they are all crammed into a storage closet, at the very back. I have to move full shelving units and my deep freezer out of the way to wheel out the server rack.....then disconnect LOADS of cables. The last time I took it out of the storage room, I took some photos. Attached is one to show you what I'm talking about. I'm not sure what to look for in the results, so I'm posting one of them here. I tried to post 6 in this thread (1 batch), but it exceeded the maximum allowed characters by more than 4 times!!! So if someone could point out which areas to look at, and what types of numbers to watch out for it would be greatly appreciated. 1st disk to finish ========================================================================1.13 == invoked as: ./preclear_disk.sh -r 65536 -w 65536 -b 2000 -A -c 6 -m [email protected] /dev/sdc == ST3000DM001-1CH166 W1F1GJDG == Disk /dev/sdc has been successfully precleared == with a starting sector of 1 == Ran 6 cycles == == Using :Read block size = 65536 Bytes == Last Cycle's Pre Read Time : 6:35:04 (126 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Zeroing time : 5:33:50 (149 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Post Read Time : 11:55:20 (69 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Total Time : 17:30:15 == == Total Elapsed Time 112:42:31 == == Disk Start Temperature: 29C == == Current Disk Temperature: 31C, == ============================================================================ ** Changed attributes in files: /tmp/smart_start_sdc /tmp/smart_finish_sdc ATTRIBUTE NEW_VAL OLD_VAL FAILURE_THRESHOLD STATUS RAW_VALUE Raw_Read_Error_Rate = 117 100 6 ok 131179216 Seek_Error_Rate = 63 100 30 ok 2312779 Spin_Retry_Count = 100 100 97 near_thresh 0 End-to-End_Error = 100 100 99 near_thresh 0 High_Fly_Writes = 94 100 0 ok 6 Airflow_Temperature_Cel = 69 71 45 near_thresh 31 Temperature_Celsius = 31 29 0 ok 31 No SMART attributes are FAILING_NOW 0 sectors were pending re-allocation before the start of the preclear. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after pre-read in cycle 1 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 1 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 1 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 2 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 2 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 3 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 3 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 4 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 4 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 5 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 5 of 6. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 6 of 6. 0 sectors are pending re-allocation at the end of the preclear, the number of sectors pending re-allocation did not change. 0 sectors had been re-allocated before the start of the preclear. 0 sectors are re-allocated at the end of the preclear, the number of sectors re-allocated did not change. ============================================================================ ============================================================================ == == S.M.A.R.T Initial Report for /dev/sdc == Disk: /dev/sdc smartctl 5.39.1 2010-01-28 r3054 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: ST3000DM001-1CH166 Serial Number: W1F1GJDG Firmware Version: CC24 User Capacity: 3,000,592,982,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: ATA-8-ACS revision 4 Local Time is: Thu Jun 6 22:32:51 2013 MDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
