  1. OK, I get it. I've seen the "zero a drive while maintaining parity" method discussed many times on the forum but never used it myself. Not really a built-in or officially documented feature, but go for it.

    I've used is a couple times in the past with V5 (and probably V4) with success.  You just have be very careful! :-)

     

  2. Sounds like a plan, but there are some devils in the details. Let us know if you need advice on those.

     

    This is going to take a while!

    I'm rsync-ing the bad 2T disk now.  Then I'll zero it out and removed it from the array for further testing..

     

    Does rsync do any copy verification once it copies?  I know you can set it to do a checksum test before to see it needs to copy.. but

    once it does copy does it do any check to see that the copy happened correctly?

  3. My array is almost full.  I just bought 2 4T disks and I have a spare 2G disk.

     

    My smallest drives left in the array are 2 1.5T drives.  My thought was to replace those with the 2 4T disks.

    But...  I was looking at my smart data and I have 2 2T disks that have a current sector pending.  Now one of those 2T disks (disk6) keeps getting that pending sector and clearing that..  that same disk occasionally gets read errors (but has never red balled)  So I think it's a given to get rid of that disk (disk6)

     

    Now should I replace the other 2T as well?  it's had that same pending sector for a long time. The drive is full so it never really gets written to.

    The 1.5T drives are 1 year older than the 2Ts.. but their smart data is clean.  I was hoping to recycle them to put them in the cache pool as my cache drive (single drive) occasionally quits and can't be seen by the system anymore until I power cycle!

     

    I also am thinking I can change to the XFS during this whole process.

     

    So what I'm thinking is

    the worse 2T (disk6) -> spare 2T disk

    1.5T disk + 1.5T disk -> 4T new disk

    other 2T -> other 4T

     

    With this I only gain 3T of space from my new 8T of drives and I lose my spare 2T drive...

    But I can test the other 2 2T drives out of the system and see if they really are ok still or not. If they check out I can re-add them back to the system. (at least one maybe)

    And then my 2 1.5T drives can go in the cache pool..

     

    What do you think?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Jim

  4. You might need some quotes around the echo statement in the send_mail subroutine.

    # gfjardim - add notification system capability without breaking legacy mail.

    send_mail() {

      subject=$(echo ${1} | tr "'" '`' )

      description=$(echo ${2} | tr "'" '`' )

      message=$(echo ${3} | tr "'" '`' )

      recipient=${4}

      if [ -f "$notify_script" ]; then

        $notify_script -e "Preclear ${model} ${serial}" -s """${subject}""" -d """${description}""" -m """${message}""" -i "normal ${notify_channels}"

      else

        echo -e "${message}" | mail -s "${subject}" "${recipient}"

      fi

    }

     

    Changed to:

    # gfjardim - add notification system capability without breaking legacy mail.

    send_mail() {

      subject=$(echo ${1} | tr "'" '`' )

      description=$(echo ${2} | tr "'" '`' )

      message=$(echo "${3}" | tr "'" '`' )

      recipient=${4}

      if [ -f "$notify_script" ]; then

        $notify_script -e "Preclear ${model} ${serial}" -s """${subject}""" -d """${description}""" -m """${message}""" -i "normal ${notify_channels}"

      else

        echo -e "${message}" | mail -s "${subject}" "${recipient}"

      fi

    }

    Someone else can probably explain why it's needed for the cat output and not for the "\n" inserted into the variable!

     

    but if I do this:

    my_message="`cat /tmp/smart_start_sdl` \n";m2=$(echo ${my_message} | tr "'" '`' ) ; echo "$m2"

    I get this:

    Now I haven't tried this in the script.  If I had a small disk to try this on I would..  I got rid of all mine.

  5. The script seems to be removing some linefeeds from the  analyze_for_errors output and the cats of the smart reports..  It didn't do that before.

    Any thoughts to why?  It would  be nice if this was more readable...

     

    But great job, otherwise, on this plugin!  It's nice to have a gui for it!  I always had to look back and see what command line parameters I used in the past for any new pre-clears

  6. Mine actually went up!  But that is more likely due to I put in a dual core processor and bumped the speed up and mucked with the

    md_num_stripes. 

    But before I did those I was Waaaaayyyy slower with my single core celeron with V6.  I wonder if I should try with the old V5 with these setting to

    see if it is even faster!  I'm running out of time though..  I have two new 4T drives that just finished pre-clear that I want to add to the array.

    They will be xfs now which isn't backwards compatible with V5 as I hear....

     

    Is your processor pegged when you do the parity check?  mine was which was hinting that V6, for some reason, needs more CPU Horsepower!

  7. The symlink idea is not something that's going to get into -beta7 and probably not in 6.0-final.  Just too many other critical features to address.

     

    What we're going to do is create some warning notice on the Share Settings page that talks about this issue: that it's not recommend to copy files directly from a disk share to user share UNLESS: the source disk is not configured to be part of user shares.

     

    That is, on the Share Settings page, there are "global" Include/Exclude masks.  Say for example, you want to empty all the files from "disk2" to the user share file system.  What you would do is set "Excluded disks(s)" to "disk2" and click Apply.  Now it should work fine to copy everything off disk2 to a user share, letting shfs decide where to write things.

     

    There's really no other way to prevent user from shooting himself in foot without giving up some other functionality.

     

    I don't want to change the meaning of the share-level Include/Exclude masks, again proper documentation is required here as well.

     

    I just tried this and it did NOT work.  Maybe an array restart is required.. but this didn't work by just hitting apply. The file went into limbo as if I never excluded the disk.

    It does work if you rename the source directory to something different first (and there is at least one disk that already has the share directory).

    Note this was tried from the command line..  not from windows...  if that makes a difference.

     

    Nevermind...  I misread Tom's instructions.  I didn't use the global "don't use for shares"  I did the local exclude in the share settings.

  9. I just changed my settings to allow disk shares..  Let me see if I understand it...

     

    Say I have a share called DVD.

    Say I have a folder called MyMovie on Disk 1.

     

    I want to move it to disk 2 (or some other disk) to free up disk 1.

     

    So

    cp /mnt/disk1/DVD/MyMovie    /mnt/disk2/DVD would work perfectly fine?

     

    But if I did

     

    cp /mnt/disk1/DVD/MyMovie    /mnt/user/DVD    would lose the whole MyMovie folder?

     

    Now what if I exclude disk1 from the share DVD clicked apply  and then did

     

    cp /mnt/disk1/DVD/MyMovie    /mnt/user/DVD

     

    Would it then work fine and unraid would move the file to some other disk of it's choosing?

     

    I routinly used to copy from one disk share to another disk share to free up some space and such.  I don't think I ever tried a disk to user share move/copy.

    But I'd like to understand the limitation.

     

     

  10. Yeah.  that's what I had to do..  Now it has the permissions I set with V5.

    There is the warning with help turned on that threw me.

    If set to No, disk shares are unconditionally not exported.

     

    If set to Yes, disk shares may be exported. WARNING: Do not copy data from a disk share to a user share unless you know what you are doing. This may result in the loss of data and is not supported.

     

    If set to Auto, only disk shares not participating in User Shares may be exported.

     

    But that what was necessary to see them again.

  11. How do the drives map for V6?

    In V5 I could see them in windows with a \\tower listing.  That showed my shares and the disks.

    In V6 I don't see them at all?

    I can click on the flash on the main page and set it's SMB settings..  But where/how do I set/enable/configure the SMB setting for the disk shares?

     

    Under settings for global share setting I see disk shares set to auto.  Do I need to set this to yes?

  12.  

    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"m running chrome and it works just fine for me?

  13. Ok..  I think it's running now.  Thanks!

     

    FYI....  I get this error when running the script..

     

    /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/preclear_disk.sh  -M 4 -o 2 -c 1 -f -J /dev/sdl
    root@Tower:/usr/local/emhttp# /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/preclear_disk.sh  -M 4 -o 2 -c 1 -f -J /dev/sdl
    /boot/config/plugins/preclear.disk/preclear_disk.sh: line 635: [: missing `]'

     

    The program is running..  but I got this error when it started.
