i didn't find any preclear reports but did run a smart report and all looks good what command would I use to run the shortest preclear to have it write the signature

Thanks everyone! that's why I love this place lol

so unless it finished there wouldn't be any record of what happened so even if I run it again and have no reallocated sectors for example I will have no idea if there were any before?

I have been running 3 preclear cycles on a new 4tb drive I know early yesterday afternoon it was on 10% of step 10 I believe and I lost power sometime after 4:47am this morning so I would think it would have finished but the power was out long enough for the battery backup to run out of juice I had it running on an old pc that I was only going to use to do this so like an idiot I didn't setup a clean power down I have always been able to look at the results right after so I can't remember if it saves a log auto or if you have to tell it to save....or is it saves after every cycle or just at the end basically I'm wondering if there is anyway to tell how it went or if it finished considering it died this morning Thanks!
