opentoe Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I'm ready to pre-clear my new WD Black 2TB drive. Are there any special settings to use when this gets done? Is the pre-clear script interactive and if it is can I use screen? I'll read up on pre-clear just to be familiar with it. Looks good to me!!! ================================================================== 1.4 = unRAID server Pre-Clear disk /dev/sdb = cycle 1 of 1, partition start on sector 63 = 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.

You'll need to respond to its prompt for it to start. There are no special settings needed. There is a new version I posted as of a few hours ago. Get it. It is version 1.4. Joe L.
