Pre-clearing drives using terminal on mac via screen

Featured Replies

Okay, so I think I've done everything right. Using my MBP, I've started preclearing my drives using screen via terminal (telnet) but theres a problem. I can't seem to cycle through my preclears. Its really weird. I hold down CTRL + A then press n and NOTHING changes.

 

Is it that I'm only preclearing one disk?

 

 

 

================================================================== 1.11

=                unRAID server Pre-Clear disk /dev/sdb

=               cycle 1 of 1, partition start on sector 63

= Disk Pre-Read in progress: 7% complete

= ( 148,055,040,000  bytes of  2,000,398,934,016  read ) 106 MB/s

=

Disk Temperature: 32C, Elapsed Time:  0:23:52

 

 

edit: I've disconnected my telnet session. tried to reconnect typing screen -r to return to screen. it says there is not a session to restore... so have my preclears stopped?  i've then logged in via my monitor and its now preclearing fine and i can also toggle easily (just pressing CTRL+A twice...  are my disks preclearing 2x at the same time? is that bad? is that even possible?)

 

also what does this mean.. on my telnet session:

 

Linux 2.6.32.9-unRAID.

root@Tower:~# top

'xterm-color': unknown terminal type.

root@Tower:~#

 

As far as I know, you can only clear 1 disk per terminal (telnet) window. That said, you can open multiple telnet sessions at once.

 

simply open another terminal window and open a telnet session just as you did for the first one, webster the pre clear script for your second drive and let it go. And, do the same in a third terminal window if you have a third drive. And so on and so on

Type

TERM=xterm; export TERM

and unRAID will know the terminal type.  (It does not know not to send escape sequences to a color "xterm" )
