Keevil Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hello, I am trying to preclear a disk before putting it into the array however i am getting the follow error: Sorry, but /dev/sdd is already assigned as part of the unRAID array. Clearing will NOT be performed How can i stop the device from being part of the array for pre_clearing? Quote Link to comment

Keevil Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 Can this be done on the command line? As i havent added it on the GUI. Quote Link to comment
kenoka Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 If you haven't added it, then you may be pointing to the wrong device. Did you run a "preclear_disk.sh -l"? Quote Link to comment
