ok, thanks!  Just to make sure I have the latest and greatest, I decided to Remove it again and then use Community Apps to install.  It installed the 2016.9.26 version and not the current one.

 

Looks like Community Apps needs to be updated.

Don't know what you saw, but just tried it and CA installs the correct version (2016.10.26)

Ok, that link installed 26 again.  The link on page 1 installs 27??

 

Again, if using CA, then does it copy the script files for you?

 

Ok I use the link you sent, (or the one on page 1)do I need to manually copy any files?

 

Again, if using CA, then does it copy the script files for you?

CA always installs whatever plugin URL the author has set.  (In this case, its identical to the one that gfjardim just posted above).  Whatever the .plg decides to install is set by the author and it makes no difference as to whether or not its installed via CA or manually via the plugins tab.  The result is always the same between them both.  (CA calls the plugin manager to install the URL).

 

As to whether or not the script(s) are installed, I'm not sure, as I haven't had a need to run preclear for a while now....

What happened to 2016.9.27?  Now the link on page 1 and the CA installs 2016.9.26??

 

So it sounds like the copy of the script is still a manual process.  If that is true, then I'm only installing the plugin and still need to manually copy the script file.  Where do I get the latest and greatest script file?

 

What happened to 2016.9.27?  Now the link on page 1 and the CA installs 2016.9.26??

What are you seeing?  This is what I see....

thanks, didn't catch that the 9 changed to 10, my bad.

 

I would still like to confirm I have the newest  script.  On page one, I can dl Joe's or the other one.  How do I get gfjardim version, which was recently updated and even faster than the other two?

 

thanks

 

 

2016.10.26 is offering to preclear my parity disk and 1 member of my array. I have no extra disks, was just looking for grins. Parity is on mobo port  & sdb is on my Areca ARC-1231ML HBA.

Same here. I had 3 drivers showing up via unassigned devices as expected. But 3 more array devices show up in the preclear plugin screen, one of which was parity 2. Areca is involved in this server as well using the dynamix SCSI plugin.

Mine now shows: No unassigned disks available. (as it should)

 

thanks for quick update.

I asked this question in the CA thread, but Squid didn't really have an answer. What happens if the Preclear Plugin auto updates while a pre clear is running? Will the update fail and have to be performed again later or will the pre clear fail and have to be started over again after the update?

 

For now I have followed Squid's advise and disabled auto updating for Preclear.

Hey, quick question.  I have both yours and JoeL's script showing, but I only want to use yours.  Do you know how I remove Joe's?  I know we used to have to manually download it and stick it somewhere, but I can't for the life of me remember where.

 

Thanks!

Yep, figured that already. Could you start a Varify All the Disk and tell if it failed again?
