I started a new telnet session and screen -r 27289 and it worked, yay!

 

Thanks for your help. I just need a little more patience hopefully!

No worries just remember when your done with a screen session type exit to close that session or your end up with loads of open sessions

and it seems to be chugging along at a nice (normal) pace!

Give me strength.

Looks exactly the same as this time yesterday, please tell me I haven't got to do this again?

if it hasn't moved then yep.

 

i suspect you are doing 'screen' incorrectly and terminating the pre-clear. Posting a syslog might help determine if another error caused it.

 

first, kill all screen sessions using instructions in the wiki.

 

- start telnet, login to server root/password.

- type screen

- start pre-clear for drive

- CTRL-A then CTRL-D.

 

you will then be returned to the console where you can type exit to log out.

 

to check status again, login using telnet, type screen -r

 

 

Well I couldn't wait any longer so started rebuilding the array a couple of hours ago with the disk. Hopefully it won't come back to bite me.

 

Thanks for your help though.

Hi,

 

Sorry to drag this thread up again.

 

My friend has has asked me to build him an unRaid server on an HP ProLiant Gen8 (yes he really has no one else to ask). I am preclearing the first disk and was wondering if you can have more than one disk being cleared at the same time or whether it just takes longer?

 

He has 4 WD Green 2Tb disks.

 

Thanks,

 

Adam

You can check out pre-clearing with screen

 

Marvellous, thanks.

I set all 4 disks preclearing but am having trouble switching between screens.

        19628.pts-0.Tower       (Detached)
        6847.pts-0.Tower        (Detached)
6 Sockets in /root/.screen.

 

I get this error if I try to 'screen -r ####'

 

Cannot find terminfo entry for 'vt100'

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

 

Adam
