That's odd, as they are currently installed, but listed in the previous apps list.
February 7, 20188 yr Author Are you sure the template that's showing in Previous Apps isn't identical (name, tag, etc) to the one you've got installed?

Forgive me if this is the wrong area to ask about this, but I am attempting to acquire the 'Preclear Disk' plugin (per SpaceInvader's recommendation) via Community Applications, but it does not come up in a search. How can I troubleshoot that? Is it possible that it is not suitable for UnRAID 6.4.1? That's the only thing I can think of that would prevent it from showing up, assuming it hasn't been depreciated. Thank you! Not compatible with 6.4+. And not really needed.

If I try to re-add the docker, it fails (as the ports are in use by the running dockers). I tried to add the docker, changing the ports/name (named it Influxdb2) which worked, but then 2 instances of the docker showed up under previous apps, One of the previous apps was named Influxdb and the other was Influxdb2

The video guide I watched indicated that if the drive was not pre-cleared, the array would have to remain down while unRAID precleared the drive. Is that correct?

February 7, 20188 yr Author 27 minutes ago, Ruthalas said: Is it possible that it is not suitable for UnRAID 6.4.1? Yup. As @wgstarks pointed out, preclear is currently not compatible with unRaid 6.4.1 and CA by default will only display apps that are compatible with your unRaid version.
February 7, 20188 yr Just now, Ruthalas said: Ah, thank you. The video guide I watched indicated that if the drive was not pre-cleared, the array would have to remain down while unRAID precleared the drive. Is that correct? At one time that was true but it changed in 6.2(?) maybe. Now clears are done while the array is online.
February 7, 20188 yr I can no longer see Limetechs Unraid icon under the plugins ... I noticed it when I went to see if there were any updates like I normally do. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

The script is now optional. You can use it or not depending on whether you feel that SMART testing is enough. There is a fair amount of discussion on that both ways, but in the end it’s a personal choice.

There is a fair amount of discussion on that both ways, but in the end it’s a personal choice. Hang on. What happens when I plug a new disk into my server? I have an older unraid system sitting in the garage collecting dust that I use to preclear disks. Does 6.4.x handle this differently now?
February 8, 20188 yr 34 minutes ago, tucansam said: Does 6.4.x handle this differently now? Since v6.2 that new disks are cleared on the background, array is available during that time.
February 8, 20188 yr 26 minutes ago, johnnie.black said: Since v6.2 that new disks are cleared on the background, array is available during that time. But the array is still down a disk, obviously. So is the preclear + rebuild process just seamless now, but the array is at risk for the same period of time? Or is preclear sped up now, and the rebuild process begins much faster? I am 100% not putting any disk in my array that isn't already precleared one or two times in another system.... Has this changed?

February 8, 20188 yr Everyone his own, but I have been happily living without preclear and make use of the new unRAID possibilities.
February 8, 20188 yr What about stress testing a new disk? I like to run it through three rounds of preclear to rule out manufacturer defects. Is it possible through the unraid gui without the plugin or Joe L's script?

You can still use the script if you want to run multiple preclears.
