February 2, 201412 yr I'm running a preclear on two drives using screen. The /boot/preclear_reports folder does not have a start log file for the two preclears, only to my prior preclears (and finish and summary reports). Is the start log written only at the end of the preclear? Or is screen (the Linux command) eating them? I'm following the preclear tutorial with screen, and used the command preclear_disk.sh -r 65536 -w 65536 -b 2000 -A /dev/sdX to start both preclears. I could switch between them fine and follow progress, but this afternoon I can't re-attach to screen anymore as there is "no route to host," and webGUI times out. I can only access the array with a physical screen and kb now. I need to confirm the preclears have finished before rebooting. I ran preclear with -t flag on the two drives, and it says they have been pre-cleared already. But listening to the HDD there is some activity going on on the HDD. The preclears should finish any time now, but I want to ensure it is finished before rebooting. edit: whew, it wan't the webGUI that crashed, it was my router. Restarted the router, and I was able to log in with PuTTY and screen -r. 15% to go. Still unsure when the log files are written or if ever with screen - I guess I'll see after the preclears are finished.
