finally got preclear running by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Guess it was a dependancy problem (perhaps due to interaction with nerd pack)

I can format the disks in exFat. i can't format them in xfs Preclear still stuck on starting. I found a forth disk from an ancient raid on synology. It's the same behaviour.

yes it's enabled. Usually i have no problems preclearing. But i haven't done this since a few months. Server has been rebooted 2 days ago for udpate of nvidia driver.

Hello, I'm selling my synology nas and i want to preclear disks to have spare. I threw 3x 3Tb western red in my sas expansion bay as unassigned drives. Unraid recognised them as linux raid member. Preclear won't run. It keeps showing "starting" I can erase partitions but i can't format them in xfs with the gui. What can i do ? godzilla-diagnostics-20210705-1207.zip

good news. Server is now running fine. Parity sync is now finished. I'll run preclear on the disks used to see if they really failing. Tank your @JorgeB for your help 😃

that's it. The sata connector was almost unplugged!!!

i have that multiple times in syslog. It keeps coming up. How can i know which controller/port is involved?

thank you 😃 parity sync is started; but it's very slow: 20MB/S edit My bad docker service started and that was slowing down the process. now it runs at 150MB/S. Now i also have udma crc errors on cache pools (both vm and docker pool)🤥 The controller on the mainboard could also have a problem.

i have UDMA CRC error count at 15 on disk4 godzilla-diagnostics-20210308-1202.zip

i'm confused. I replaced sata cable, changed sata port and still I/O error. So i changed enclosure for disk 4; and still I/O error when doing check _n with gui. So in a terminal i ran xfs_repair -n on disk4 in the external enclosure and it's running but with gui i have i/o error. I have good hope for disk 4 as the internal enclosure in which disk4 was primarily had a problem. When i pulled disk 4 the latch of the enclosure was broken and the disk was not maintained as it should.

when i run xfs_repair -n on disk4 i have an input/output error.

i start thinking trouble is with the hotplug enclosure in which i have disk 2, 3 and 4.

ddrescue went well and i recovered all files. I did a new config with the new disk3. Parity sync started but disk4 had been disabled. So i guess i have to stop array to replace disk4. I have no 6Tb disk spare.

i planned the second option but i was not aware of the first which seems more simple. but i think i have to check files integrity on the cloned disk before syncing parity.

ok thank you for following up my steps. currently running 5% rescued and going on... after re-sync i can add rescued files from ud device ?
