[Re: preclear_disk.sh - a new utility to burn-in and pre-clear disks for quick add]

Wow that is a long time. I am a newbie. Can you let me know howmthis worksmin regard to stopping the raid array and adding drives? It is quick after I pre clear stop the array and add a new drive. Does the new drive get formatted at that time? If so how long does that take. I am trying to understand the penalty for adding space after the fact. Thanks!

My 2 TB seagate (5900 RPM drive) is pre-clearing now.  I am 26 hours in to it and at 1.7 TB per a drive (doing 4 at a time) in the post read process now.  Does that seem excessively long?

 

Thanks!
