I use the following line in fstab, and have no problems with permissions on unRAID 5 using private security. My Ubuntu username is the same as my unRAID username. Files created on the unRAID server are owned by my username. From your quote, it sounds like unRAID is setting this because I am using private security. //192.168.1.12/unRAID /mnt/unRAID cifs user,uid=ubuntu_username,gid=ubuntu_username,username=unraid_username,password=unraid_password 0 0

I'm having a similar problem. I can mount the share with uid, gid, username and password options. It works fine from the Linux machine. But the files are not created as `nobody:users` on the unRAID machine, which causes problems for other machines (a Mac) when attempting to delete or write to files created by the Linux machine. I need uid/gid to give my Linux account rw access to the share, but I don't want to store the files on the unRAID server with a different uid. In my case, my Linux username is the same as my unRAID username (the share uses "private" security). I don't understand why setting the uid for the share on the Linux machine flows through to the unRAID server. CIFS is not supposed to know anything about Linux permissions, and the uid/gid options are just to make the files appear to be owned by a local Linux uid/gid?

Test should be completed now. But `smartctl -a /dev/sda` yields the same output, except for the timestamp and Raw_Read_Error_Rate, Power_On_Hours and Hardware_ECC_Recovered fields. I guess that's it then? Nothing else to try?

I'm running the long text now. I found smartctl a little confusing, as running `smartctl --test=long /dev/sda` returned almost immediately and told me to check the results in 48 minutes. I think I just do `smartctl -a /dev/sda` to check the results? I found a web page that seemed to indicate I could call `smartctl` with the `-a` option to check the results and/or the status of a currently running test. But when I try (while the test is running), I see "Error SMART Error Log Read failed: Input/output error". Should I just give up and start using the drive? I intend to use it as a cache drive. Is the preclear script and long smartctl tests even required or useful in this case, since it will only be storing data short term until it is moved onto the array? Cheers.

I did notice that. Strange. I couldn't find any other forum posts about using the preclear script with SSD. Does nobody do this? Is it not necessary (for a cache drive)? Is my only alternative to use "-n" to skip the pre and post read that would allow smart firmware to identify bad blocks? Edit: Just tried it, and that didn't work either.

Same (or similar, at least) problem, I'm afraid

I'm trying to run the preclear script on an SSD (Corsair F60) with unraid 5.0 beta 4, running directly on the hardware with a virgin install. I get the following output: What does it mean? How do I preclear this drive? I want to use it as a cache drive. Do I even need to preclear it?
