Can you tell me what this error message means?
Running v6.1.9 and preclear ran to completion
??> RESULT: Preclear finished succesfully.
/usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk/script/preclear_disk.sh: line 1401: /boot/preclear_reports/preclear_report_WD?WCAU48551976_2016.08.3

I've had a good dozen drives fail within the first few hours of a preclear (~25% DOA from Newegg until I stopped buying from them).
Any idea why one merchandiser would have higher failure rates than another with the same hard drive manufacturer ?

Recently ran the Fix Common Problems plugin and the following were noted as problems.
The LogitechMediaServer docker runs perfectly as installed so are these all false positives ?
Docker Application LogitechMediaServer is currently set up to run in host mode
The template for this application specifies that the application should run in bridge mode.
Docker Application LogitechMediaServer, Container Port 3483 not found or changed on installed application When changing ports on a docker container, you should only ever modify the HOST port, as the application in question will expect the container port to remain the same as what the template author dictated.

LogitechMediaServer docker application has its /config folder set to /mnt/user/appdata/LogitechMediaServer Many (if not most docker applications) will not function correctly if their appData folder is set to a user share. Ideally, they should be set to a disk share. Either /mnt/cache/... or /mnt/diskX/...

[glow=red,2,300]Update to Beta:[/glow]
2016.03.22
- Fix: Better S.M.A.R.T. report
- Add: Save a report in /boot/preclear_reports
2016.03.21
- Add: pause any preclear operations while array start/stop
- Add: Initial SMART reporting
Does that mean you can stop the array during a preclear . Add additional hard drives and restart the array and the preclear will resume ?
This does NOT Mean you can reboot the system ?

Thank you for the update
You can disregard the previous request for help as the latest update fixed the error message.
Do I still need the added line .... mount -o remount,size=256m /var/log......in the Go file ?
-
As the PreClear Beta continues on my 3 HHDs. 2- 8tb and 1- 4tb I received the following error message again when I checked the status.
The HDDs are currently in Cycle 2, Step 2, Zeroing.
Several days of preclearing so I hate to interrupt or cancel at this point
Warning: file_put_contents(): Only 0 of 197 bytes written, possibly out of free disk space in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk.beta/Preclear.php on line 50 Warning: file_put_contents(): Only 0 of 196 bytes written, possibly out of free disk space in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk.beta/Preclear.php on line 50 Warning: file_put_contents(): Only 0 of 196 bytes written, possibly out of free disk space in /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk.beta/Preclear.php on line 50

Please wait... retrieving information
I have already entered the code you suggested previously including adding it to the go file.
mount -o remount,size=256m /var/log
Add that to your /boot/config/go file to make it persistent
-
Thank you for the prompt assistance
I entered the line of code and it corrected the log error
I also added it to the Config/Go file as you suggested.
I have several more 8tb drives to clear.
Is there a place where one can read all the logging at the finish of the PreClear ?
Also you may want to know about this end of file error that gets displayed when the script gets to the end of the disk.
-
Additional to above post
if I open the older Preclear plugin (Non Beta version )
it displays correctly
-
I have been Preclearing 3 HHD withe the PreClear Beta for 2 days now.
It is in the PreRead phase of cycle 2 for 2 8tb hard drives and iI think n the PreRead phase for a 4tb drive running.
When I attempted to open the plugin to watch the progress I received
this error and the plugin refuses to open though the preclear appears to continue to run
Any idea what I should do ?

I recently added the Preclear Plugin Beta and did not read further on the first page where it said to add the script preclear_disk.sh.
The original Preclear Plugin was already installed and the script was in that plugin folder.
I ran the Beta Preclear plugin and it ran without having the script in the config/plugins/preclear.disk/ directory.
Is there a reason it ran OK ?
When the Preclear is finished is there way to recall the html log that shows the finished completion ?
The beta version has a new script written by gfjardim. It is a beta version, so don't expect all the same functionality as the other preclear plugin yet.
Thanks for the prompt response.
I understand he new script will be lacking until gfjardim has an opportunity to fine tune all the necessary functionality.
That doesn't explain my main question which may be a bug.

Ad blocker is a good thing... That could be it.. I will not ditch chrome however..
No need to ditch Chrome. Whenever you run Preclear open the GUI with a different browser.
You can also try multiple clicks on the button
-
Loving the preclear plugin.. However..
I do not seem to be able to -start- a preclear with the plugin.. I now start it in screen tru commandline and the gui will show progress.. What could be at fault ?
Two things to try if the GUI is not responding
Turn off add blockers as they block the popup screen
Us a different browser. Google Chrome is sometimes unresponsive
-
Not absolutely sure but your screenshot of the system shows it is stopped.
Have you tried rebooting and starting the system

Thinking about this a bit -- Limetech should host this PDF !! I can't think of any reason why they wouldn't want to have an easily downloadable manual available for all of their customers.
The only issue is the currency of it -- as the online manual changes, the PDF would be out-of-date ... but an "as of" date for both the on-line manual and the available PDF would help mitigate that => and may encourage someone [either at LT or a volunteer like Frank
] to update the PDF from time-to-time.We are not going to maintain our docs in both wiki and PDF form at this time. Franks efforts here are much appreciated, but PDF versions of our docs will need to be community maintained for now.
I wasn't suggested you maintain the PDF => only that you host it.
I don't see the point. Whether it's hosted by us or not really doesn't matter.
Just the convenience of having a direct download on the site ... I agree it doesn't really matter [the same thing could be accomplished by simply having a link to the Dropbox account where it's hosted now]. A casual user who isn't active in the forum wouldn't even know the PDF existed if he/she clicked on "Support - Documentation" on the LimeTech web page.
Yet if we host it on the website, it implies its officially supported. There will be an expectation that it will be maintained and when we update the wiki, users who stumble across the outdated PDF will probably be even more confused.
Most users will probably be just fine using the wiki as opposed to a PDF. I get some folks like a printed manual, but that is definitely not the way of the world for software products like ours that change so frequently with new releases.
I just checked and the Wiki has the manual for v4.7

The last edit date for the UnRaid 6 manual was July 7, 2015.
If I miss an update a PM or post to this page should alert me and I will update the PDF manual

Frank1940 has made a PDF file of the LimeTech v6 Manual
He has generated a PDF file of the jonp documentation by copying it into MS Word and formatting it to look like a printed manual complete with a Table of Contents. However it is larger than the 192KB limit (even after he zipped it) so he couldn't upload it to the forum as an attachment.
Here is a link to Frank1940's PDF file that he has made available to Unraid users..
It is downloadable and if you care to all 69 pages are printable as a PDF file

The only thing which I am still rather surprised that is missing from unRaid is a local version of the manual. jonp went to alot of time and effort to write up a rather decent manual for unRaid 6, and there's not a single place within unRaid itself where you can actually access it from without first going to LT's website.

I am wondering if one of you might know (or have) a website which is free which could host the file (or be willing to host it on your site)? The zipped file is about 1.4MB in size.
In the mean time, if you would like a copy of it, PM me with your e-mail address and I will send it to you.

If you installed the plugin you should be running the PreClear from the Plugin or Settings page in the UnRaid GUI not from the command line.

Latest update: I tried to Pre-Clear the disk once more on my new Server with nothing else attached and it failed. I then added it to my current array (older Server - Parity not verified) and ran it through the Pre-Clear process again with success!
It has been quite a process w/new drives especially those that have been taken out of External units, but if you are willing to put up with some additional effort it can be rewarding
!Good Luck to others who might find this a successful and less expensive option especially with Black Friday Deals over the next few weeks!
Dave
You do find the size of the disk in Unraid is now the entire disk. In other words a 3tb disk is 3tb etc

Garycase, Joe L, bjp99 or Trurl,
I just got another 5TB drive to help with my "problem" - (see Help Please???
). Somewhere I remember seeing one of you talking about removing Hard Drives from External Cases for use in UnRaid and having to "clear" the "hidden" partition that Seagate/WD may use. I can't find the command or link using search, but believe it allowed us to look for that partition and then delete it for Pre-Clear. I'm having the same problem with this disk as my others, it loses connection with the Sata controller/UnRaid Pre-Clear script at about the time it gets through the initial round (of 3 @~20 hours) and leaves no trace or record on the Flash Drive to analyze/share.This is very frustrating
and is probably d/t some mfg "protection" to prevent us purchasing less expensive larger hard drives via the External USB route vs "raw" desktop drives. I'm referring to 5TB drives for ~ $120 or less vs $150-$250 or more for the same/similar drive.Dave
I had the same experience.
Hard drive probably has a small hidden partition as the first partition for recovery or a drive larger than 2tb may have a protected EFI partition
Mount the drive on a Windows machine. My computer right click >Manage>>disk storage >Disk management. You should be able to see the hidden partion then follow the instructions in the link.

Is there a fix for this small problem
I am using Chrome as my browser
I have a difficult time getting the Plugin to run after it starts
It takes 10 or 20 or more clicks of the Start button to start the plugin and just as many to the X button to stop the plugin.
I see this same behavior as well, regardless of which browser I use. However, it might be related to the array disks being spun down. If the majority of the disks in my system are spun down, it's sometimes impossible to get the preclear plugin popup to appear. If the disks are spun up, then it's usually only one or two clicks to get the popup.
I continue to experience this failure to open and shutdown problem sometimes it opens after 20 plus clicks and sometimes it refuses to open.
All my other plugins and buttons work after one click on my system.
Can someone please describe how to correct what is happening.
The disk to PreClear is unassigned and should be already spun up
I did some testing again with this bug and here is what I found.
The bug occurs consistently with Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.
The bug does NOT occur and the plugin starts every time with Internet Explorer.
Hopefully the plugin author can figure out the reason.

Looks like the plugin is attempting to underline the dashes in the serial number and text ?
