I just re-ran the preclear script on all 4 drives and sdb and sdc were successfully precleared. But, sdd and sde this time froze at 88%. This is interesting because when I ran the test on sde earlier, it did complete successfully. However, I will rerun the tests on sdd and sde as JimmyJoe suggested to see what my results are. Can someone help me interpret the SMART results from the two discs that successfully precleared? Here are my results: ============================================================================ == == Disk /dev/sdb has been successfully precleared == ============================================================================ S.M.A.R.T. error count differences detected after pre-clear note, some 'raw' values may change, but not be an indication of a problem 71c71 < 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 071 067 000 Old_age Always - 29 (Lifetime Min/Max 29/29) --- > 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 069 067 000 Old_age Always - 31 (Lifetime Min/Max 29/31) 78c78 < 201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 253 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 --- > 201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 ============================================================================ ============================================================================ == == Disk /dev/sdc has been successfully precleared == ============================================================================ S.M.A.R.T. error count differences detected after pre-clear note, some 'raw' values may change, but not be an indication of a problem 71c71 < 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 071 066 000 Old_age Always - 29 (Lifetime Min/Max 29/29) --- > 190 Airflow_Temperature_Cel 0x0022 068 066 000 Old_age Always - 32 (Lifetime Min/Max 29/32) 78c78 < 201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 253 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 --- > 201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 ============================================================================ I've attached my syslog in case anyone needs it. Thanks.

The script has frozen twice at 88% at the post-read progress. The sdc drive has been at 88% for a few hours now and sdb drive did the same thing when I ran the preclear script on it 1-2 days ago. Here is what I see in the telnet window right now: =========================================================================== = unRAID server Pre-Clear disk /dev/sdc = cycle 1 of 1 = Disk Pre-Clear-Read completed DONE = Step 1 of 10 - Copying zeros to first 2048k bytes DONE = Step 2 of 10 - Copying zeros to remainder of disk to clear it DONE = Step 3 of 10 - Disk is now cleared from MBR onward. DONE = Step 4 of 10 - Clearing MBR bytes for partition 2,3 & 4 DONE = Step 5 of 10 - Clearing MBR code area DONE = Step 6 of 10 - Setting MBR signature bytes DONE = Step 7 of 10 - Setting partition 1 to precleared state DONE = Step 8 of 10 - Notifying kernel we changed the partitioning DONE = Step 9 of 10 - Creating the /dev/disk/by* entries DONE = Step 10 of 10 - Testing if the clear has been successful. DONE = Post-Read in progress: 88% complete. ( 888,330,240,000 of 1,000,204,886,016 bytes read ) Elapsed Time: 8:31:39 ______________ Unfortunately, it doesn't proceed after this point. BTW, I am using version .9.1 of the preclear script.

Hello! I just got my new LC server from Tom! Unfortunately, I am having problems with the preclear script. I have 4 x 1TB Samsung F1 HD103UJ drives. The parity disk (sdb) and Disk2 (sdc) both froze at 88% (Disk2 was done after a reboot of the server). Disk3 (sde) reported the following SMART error differences: ============================================================================ S.M.A.R.T. error count differences detected after pre-clear note, some 'raw' values may change, but not be an indication of a problem 77,78c77,78 < 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x000a 253 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 < 201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 253 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 --- > 200 Multi_Zone_Error_Rate 0x000a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 > 201 Soft_Read_Error_Rate 0x000a 100 100 000 Old_age Always - 0 ============================================================================ Are all of these drives bad? I've also attached my syslog. Thanks.
