June 14, 201214 yr Author Apparently it decided to preclear the drive again. Everything was fine and I was able to add the drive to the array once the preclear was finished.
June 14, 201214 yr Early beta versions did not properly recognize a 3TB drive with a GPT partition as pre-cleared. (therefore it cleared it again) You are running a fairly old beta7 version of unRAID (17 versions ago, released about a year ago) . That bug where it did not recognize the pre-clear signature on a GPT partitioned drive and repeated the zeroing of the drive was fixed in beta8. See here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes specifically here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes#Changes_from_5.0-beta7_to_5.0-beta8 You might want to upgrade. Lots of fixes and improvements have been made in the past year.
