Only thing I can find in anywhere is in /tmp for preclear right now (cycle 2 is in progress).  I missed the end of cycle 1.

 

in /tmp I found:

 

 

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     0 Nov 12 20:47 disk_not_normal

 

and

 

 

cat smart_mid_pending_reallocate_sdd

0 sectors were pending re-allocation after pre-read in cycle 1 of 3.

0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 1 of 3.

0 sectors were pending re-allocation after post-read in cycle 1 of 3.

 

 

This is on a WD15EARS that's been in my windows 7 pro (media center) box for a little while.  It has a high LCC, but exactly zero errors noted in smart, but I wanna watch it close.  I have run wdidle3.exe /D to disable the quick parking moving foward.

Results should be in /boot/preclear_reports. The terminal window must remain open for the duration of a pre-clear or it will not complete.

Ok, great thanks!
