June 29, 201610 yr How long does standard pre clearing take? Its almost done and on 95% but has taken 65 hours, its connected to the ODD Sata port on my N40L and showing writing zeros at 19MB/s Is it because my BIOS settings are wrong?

June 29, 201610 yr Author Your telling me, the only thing I can think is that as I im using the optical drive in my N40L and esata port for the cache drive with modded bios I havent set the settings right. But it still shouldnt be that slow? Assuming I cant start array until this has been completed
June 29, 201610 yr Community Expert Assuming I cant start array until this has been completed If you're using the current preclear beta plugin you can start the array, you can't with the script or old plugin. BTW, I posted the correct bios settings on your other thread.

BTW, I posted the correct bios settings on your other thread. Thank you, didnt mean to create multiple threads but wasnt sure if it was something else that may have been causing the issue. Im not using beta pre-clear so looks like I will probably end up start array some time tomorrow with a bit of luck
June 30, 201610 yr Author Finally! 97 hours later all cleared! However now I get the following: If the disk if XFS / REISERFS, stop the array, restart the Array in Maintenance mode, and run the file system checks. If the disk is BTRFS, then just run the file system checksIf the disk is listed as being unmountable, and it has data on it, whatever you do do not hit the format button. Seek assistance HERE As its a new disk cannot I not just format it? Also do I need look at the file system as my old disks are "resierfs" SSD cache is "btrfs" and assuming the new disk will be "xfs" according to the thread I read about mr resierfs killing his wife
June 30, 201610 yr That warning from fcp assumes that there is data already on the drive. If you're just adding it as an additional drive then unraid will indeed just format it. If you're intending to rebuild an existing disk onto it then do not hit format as the source disk has issues Sent from my LG-D852 using Tapatalk

Maybe the wording could be a little bit more clearer? Finally got 6 working drives is my N40L now just need to make sure full speed is available on all ports. Support on here is brilliant IMHO. Next on the list is to add 3rd unRAID system at another location!
