Is there a way I can tell if I've already pre-cleared my hard drive?  I've had this spare drive in my server as a replacement for if/when another drive died.  It's been long enough that I can't remember if it's already been pre-cleared.  I didn't think about it until after I had already added it to the array for additional space.  I have not yet written any data to it.  I know I can just pre-clear it again but thought I would ask anyway.  I have another drive that is pre-cleared but not added to the array.  I'm going to add that drive anyway so I could replace the drive in question with that one if need be.

 

As always, thanks for your help.

According to the thread here, if you use the '-t' option it will tell you if there is a preclear signature.

Perfect!  Thanks!
