I tried searching and I couldn't find an answer.
What I am looking to do is the following....and if it cannot be done, thats fine.
Since UNRAID does an awesome job at testing and clearing drives I am looking for a way to test drives before adding it to my array or using them for something else.
I was using a USB adapter to connect the disk to my server. I know this works and I can see the drive when my system reboots.
So my questions:
1. Use there a way to have USB devices recognized without rebooting. Also, a clean way to disconnect when done.
2. Once I can see the drive, is there a way to test/clear the drive without adding it to the array. I added a disk to the array only to find it was bad and then I had to remove it, commit the new config and then run a parity check on a 8 TB drive (20+ hours)
I am running 6.4.1
Thanks, any advice would be great.
