[REQUEST] Preclear container

Recommended Posts

In the unraid gui, when I hover over a drive outside of the array, check out the url link it is displaying. It opens a blank page but is that a sign that limetech is planning on adding this soon?

 

i wouldn't swear to it, but i think that's something to do with displaying preclear progress in the webui.

That link is not used, maybe I should have taken it out, as it was something from the past ...

 

Though Limetech has put native preclear support on their roadmap under version 6.2 ...

Didn't simplefeatures used to show the pre-clear progress of a drive? I'm not getting this with dynamix.

 

The preclear progress indicator is still in. Dynamix (SF) looks for the file /tmp/preclear_stat_<device> and if existing it will print its contents (this is the progress information supplied by the preclear script).

 

To make the progress information visible, the drive must be listed under the "Unassigned Devices" though.

Might as well make a GUI (web or X) for preclear that shows progress bar and ETA of whole process.. and make it multi-tab, in case user needs to run preclear on multiple drives at the same time, it can all be viewed from a single place.

Where exactly?

Another observation is that the dashboard CPU utilisation doesnt seem to match what I get in htop, at all.

... to allow clearing of drives while the array is live.

 

Yes but unRAID trashed my partition tables for me, so I have no array. I can't imagine I'd be alone in wanting this to show up even when the array isn't running? Think of a new user for example... They'd have no data either and be in a similar position to me.

it's always shown for me on the unassigned devices tab, although since dynamix i've only ever precleared a drive with the array started, which is kind of one of the points of preclear script, to allow clearing of drives while the array is live.

Isn't unassigned devices tab (section) a plugin? Or is just the ability to mount unassigned devices the plugin and the tab (section) shows up anyway? Doesn't seem to be in the screenshot.
