I want to add a drive to my unraid server but NOT as part of the array (i.e. I want the drive to have its own mount point). I stopped the array, added the drive, started the array and ran preclear in the Unassigned Devices plugin. The plugin indicated that the drive is pre-cleared but the format button is grayed out. See attached screenshot. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

cp -p does not preserve timestamps when the destination share is split across multiple disks. HOW TO REPRODUCE: Select a source directory on your network (in my case it's a Synology directory with many pictures/videos) and mount it with the Unassigned Devices plugin. Make sure the source directory size is greater than any disk on the array so that the copy will be split across disks. cd to the share directory on the array and execute the following: cp -r -p /mnt/disks/<mountpoint>/source_dir . When the disk usage on the first array disk reaches 50% the cp process will switch to the next disk in the array. The timestamp on source_dir on the next disk will be the current system time on the UNRAID server. The timestamp for source_dir on the first disk will have the correct timestamp. When I browse the share from the GUI the timestamp displayed for source_dir is the one from the second drive in the array.

Thanks for this explanation. A followup n00b question: If you preclear a drive and then add it to the array will the addition kick off a clear or does unRAID recognize that you've already ran preclear on the drive?

I don't understand all this effort to get the preclear plugin working with 6.4.x. According to @johnnie.black unRAID 6.2 and higher will kick off a preclear in the background while keeping the array online. Am I missing something?
