my drives are formatted as reiserfs. should i change them to something else?

I have an existing array for many years. From a certain point in time, I can't delete specific files on several shares. I tried changing the attribute from read-only to write, but even after doing so, i can't delete the files. I am using UNRAID 7.0.1. happy to get your help, so I wont need to erase my array and form it again.

hi, finished one complete cycle without errors. no i am trying to run it on anther drive but it stopped after getting 40% of pre-read. i rebotted the machine and trying to run again. i dont understand why i am gettign all of these errors? i hope that the work with unraid is free from this bugs. i am a bit afarid to my data on it now.

I am using Seasonic X-400FL. I will try to use a different rev. which one do you suggest? how do you explain that i have succeed in running one full cycle and got stuck in the 2nd one near the end. BTW, I am running now another cycle and its close to the end (44%), that will bring me to 2 full cycles of preclear which is OK to my understanding and means the drive is OK to work with. please correct me if i am wrong. thanks

hi, i am using the latest version, 5.0.6. i have succedded in completing once cycle but i get stuck in the 2nd one at this stage: " ================================================================== 1.15 = unRAID server Pre-Clear disk /dev/sdg = cycle 2 of 3, partition start on sector 1 = = Step 1 of 10 - Copying zeros to first 2048k bytes DONE = Step 2 of 10 - Copying zeros to remainder of disk to clear it DONE = Step 3 of 10 - Disk is now cleared from MBR onward.

no, 6 drives total. X - b,c,d,e,f,g

hi Joe, 1. you've run out of memory. - i have 2 sticks of 4GB 2. you've got some defective memory. - i ran memtest, by now it completed 3 cycles and passed so i dont think its the problem. Are you running a lot of add-ons that might be using all/most of your low-memory? Have you looked at your syslog for other hints of memory related issues? - i am not runing any addons, this a brnad new machine, i started with preclearing the disk. i didnt looked at the syslog, i already rebooted the system without saving the log. i will do so for the next run i do. a few things: 1. the preclear for the SSD went OK. 2. i have found the following thread, tried what you mention there, i got to step #10 and there is stuck in 15% of post reading. i will try to run it again. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=22984.0 3. how should i preclear the 2tb disk, since they are stucked in the same way. btw, i am using the following syntax: preclear_disk.sh -A -c 3/dev/sdX thanks
