November 20, 20169 yr I pre-cleared a drive in the array using the plugin by running just one cycle against it but now want to run a further two cycles against it. How can i do that as it now shows as precleared and i cant seem to find anywhere that allows me to override its indicator. If i drop back to comnand line what comnands do i need to effectively preclear it again? Thanks. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
November 20, 20169 yr Community Expert Haven't used the plugin recently but I think there is an X displayed that you can click to allow you to do it again. Screenshot
November 20, 20169 yr Author I tried clicking on that but it just seems to be for the situation where you want to stop an ongoing preclear. My drive is now precleared and i want to run the whole process again albeit with an extra couple of cycles. Didnt think this would be an issue but cant find out how to 'un-preclear' the drive.
November 20, 20169 yr Author Done. No change because the drive IS precleared as far as unRAID is concerned. I just want to preclear a couple more cycles. Cant be this difficult surely? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk

Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk you could format the drive (which destroys the preclear signature) and then try to preclear it again. You may have to allow formatting in the UD settings as by default it is disabled.
November 20, 20169 yr Author Surely the preclear plugin should have this ability to rerun itself? Where would the setting be to allow formatting of unassigned devices? Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
November 21, 20169 yr Community Expert Where would the setting be to allow formatting of unassigned devices? Settings - Unassigned Devices - Destructive Mode: Enabled
November 22, 20169 yr Trouble is, Unassigned Devices won't allow you to format a disk (even in destructive mode) until the Precleared report is cancelled. I had the same problem (and still do). Clicking the red X doesn't do anything but refresh the window. I ended up working round it by using a different browser (just to click the X). If I needed to use it every day it would become sufficiently annoying that I would switch browsers but I don't so I can live with it.
