July 5, 20215 yr 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

July 5, 20215 yr Author 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.
July 5, 20215 yr Author 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.
July 6, 20215 yr Author finally got preclear running by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Guess it was a dependancy problem (perhaps due to interaction with nerd pack)
