January 9, 201610 yr Hi, Just added a 3tb drive to my 6.1.6 system. ( stop array , stop box, add drive. start box , start array ). It's just sitting there. New device is showing in unassigned section on main. Do I need to stop the array , assign the disk as disk3 to start the format/pre-clear ?
January 9, 201610 yr Author Nope. Just put it in the box. Can I do a pre-clear with it in the machinem if so how ? I thought was all automatic under 6.

During this time, the entire array and all your files will be unavailable for hours. You should install the pre-clear plugin so that this can be done in the background with all your files still available. After its done, adding the drive to the array will only take a minute or so
January 9, 201610 yr Author Ok. So array is up and running. Disk is sitting at unassigned. Which is plugins do I install ? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=32564.0 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39985.0 Presume they allow me to select the disk, and start a preclear while the array is up.

Both do the same thing ultimately. The second one is actually a GUI for the first, so that's what I'd recommend. Just follow its instructions in the OP as you have to also download the preclear script separately
