thanks, your right. I'll delete my post

NEW TOPIC: MOVE-CANCEL I have a new topic. to keep it separate from the current one please put TOPIC: MOVE-CANCEL at the top of your response. Thanks. I was moving a lot of folders from one folder to another within a share. I selected a bunch and dragged and dropped it across to the folder on the other side and selected "move here" midway for whatever reason I hit cancel, It stopped quickly and then when to a grey screen. These are old files that i've recently moved in the array and I don't even know what was there at the time I was moving it . So I can't really check to see what happened to the files and if anything is missing. What is the VERY WORSE thing that could have happened when I hit cancel? Could the files have been deleted? Corrupted? Thanks! Jon

New Topic I've seen recommendations somewhere else for doing 3 preclear cycles. It seemed like 3 passes was almost a standard. I've been doing only one. Any thoughts on that topic? Thanks Jon

New Topic I'm preclearing an 8tb drive Its zeroing at between 10 and 12 mb/s is that normal?

Thanks very much!

New Topic. I was copying a disc through krusader and closed the web interface and I thought that the copying would continue in the server on its own. When i reopened unraid and restarted krusader the progress box was not there. Is it still copying in the background or did it stop? How can I tell? And if it did stop does that mean that I have to keep the computer and the web interface open during the whole copy? Thanks very much Jon

Thanks. Can I stop the erase midstream? and would that be ok to add to the array? Also as it is preclearing the word that I see is preread. Is that the same thing?

A few more questions. The other issue was solved. Thanks! When doing preclear I chose preclear and erase. 1) erase is taking a LONG time. Why would I want to erase? Can I stop it in the middle of the erase and will the drive be ok to add to the array? Next time what preclear setting do you recommend? Is preclear by itself good enough? Thanks! Jon

Frank , thanks for all the help! And I will move this thread to the general support.

Frank did you see the files though the google drive link or the attachments? when I was uploading the attachments there were some errors messages in the attachment process. I didn't know how to delete them. I should have mentioned that. I think the google drive link is more reliable as to what is actually on that flash drive.

should I scan it?

"we haven't found any errors on this drive. You can still scan the drive for errors if you want"

I don't know how to run the file systems check. I'm not at all tech saavy . is that something you can guide me through? here is a google drive link to the what was on the flash drive bzfirmware bzimage bzmodules changes.txt FSCK0000.REC FSCK0001.REC FSCK0002.REC FSCK0003.REC FSCK0004.REC license.txt make_bootable.bat make_bootable_linux make_bootable_mac memtest readvz

thanks Frank. attached. tower-diagnostics-20181117-1057.zip
