I'm adding the drives from my old nasbox into my new unraid buid now that I have moved all the data onto new HD.  But when I look at the drives in UnMenu | MyMain, I see them showing as /dev/sdb  dev/sdb1  and dev/sdd  dev/sdd1, etc.

 

Is that normal?  I do run preclear on just the 'primary' sdb, sdd, etc.  and ignore the sdb1 sdd1, etc?

It is normal.  Once partitioned the /dev/sdX1 points to the first partition.

 

You just run the preclear on the whole drive (without the trailing partition number)
