February 26, 201115 yr Hi there just wondering is it safe to add a disk to one of the empty slots in my supermicro 5in3 hotswap tray while the array is running. All I want to do is preclear the disk I install, or do I have to reboot the server for it to recognize a new disk. Thanks
February 27, 201115 yr A reboot is required. That is not correct. If you have AHCI enabled for your SATA ports, then you can add a drive w/o rebooting the server. While unRAID will not see it, other utilities will, and you can preclear it with the preclear script.
