Preclear fails shortly after it begins


Recommended Posts

UnRAID version 6.9.1 and 2021.01.03 version of preclear.  I tried running preclear on a new disk and it craps out with the following errors in the log:

 

 

Mar 15 15:28:51 preclear_disk_Z84013MY_11172: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk/script/preclear_disk.sh: line 475: /tmp/.preclear/sdaf/dd_output_complete: No such file or directory

The above messages are repeated about a dozen times before it just stops.  Note that the disk being precleared is designated as device sdaf.  This happened with the previous two versions of unRAID and I have always upgraded to the latest version of preclear when it was posted.  I've never had any issues with preclear before.  Is there a way to downgrade back to a previous version?

 

I just removed the plugin and reinstalled it from the community apps tab.  I'm rebooting the server to see if I can get it working again.

 

The server got hung up and would not complete the boot process.  This happened with the last drive I tried to pre-clear.  The server would boot fine if I removed the drive from the pre-clear slot.

 

OK, I also swapped the slot where I had been inserting drives to perform the preclear as well as replacing the cable that was connected to the backplane.  Pre-clear is at 2% and counting.  So far so good.  This is the furthest it's gone since I started having these issues so I'm thinking it's either the backplane connector or the cable.
