  1. Additionally, it should also be noted that having a plugin installed which is explicitly tagged as being incompatible may also impact your ability (depending upon your problem) to get support for any other problems you may have on your server. Especially in this case, since Preclear does inject code into each and every page on unRaid's UI

  3. My current opinion: Plugins due to their nature are held to a slightly higher standard than other types of applications. Consequently, until this plugin is either fixed by the author, or a fork of it happens by someone else willing to take over then CA will not include Preclear on v6.4.1+ (It is still available in CA for unRaid <=6.4.0) I do not know how benign the effect of installing the incorrect version of tmux is, and no matter how you term it, this patched .plg file is a hack on a non-functioning and incompatible plugin. Previously, the same thing happened to the Server Layout plugin (it was incompatible, and @Squidposted a patch to let it work, but it was never let it back into CA until the author fixed the problem). Currently the same thing is also happening with the OpenVM tools plugin. Alternatives do exist: Namely not bothering with preclear at all (I'm of the opinion that its not necessary, and is a legacy thing), or utilizing the scripts here. Perhaps the situation with CA and the patched .plg will change in the future, but for the time being, it is going to remain outside of the CA installation channels until its either fixed or someone can convince me / order me to change my mind.
  4. It should also be noted that even with Preclear disk not properly loading, it is still leaving behind traces of its failed install which may cause issues for other plugins. EG: other plugins & dynamix itself utilize the default dynamix CSS, but preclear disk for some reason overrides that style sheet instead of utilizing its own style sheet which has undesired effects on the displays under certain circumstances. (This would also happen if the plugin installed properly) Since the plugin doesn't even install correctly at this point in time, I would recommend everyone who has updated to 6.4.1 to delete preclear.disk.plg from /config/plugins on the flash drive to eliminate the possibility of any stray code entering the system.
