February 21, 20179 yr Just acquired 3TB disks but preclear disk only sees them as 806G, anyone got any insights? Wondering if it's coz they are in external caddy (no free interfaces, these disks are for upgrades / future spare replacements..

February 21, 20179 yr External caddies? No free interfaces? How are they connected - USB? It looks like the Preclear plugin is seeing 3 - 2.2 = 0.8 TB where 2.2 TB is a known limitation. If you're using a USB connection it's probably a limitation of the bridge chip in the caddy. Do you have any more information on this caddy?
February 21, 20179 yr This really belongs in plugin support as the pre-clear plugin you are referencing isn't built into the OS natively.

Do you have any more information on this caddy? Yeah it's connected via a 2 port USB caddy, it's interesting as I've had large disks in there before but not on the NAS before and honestly can't remember if I'd tried a disk this big before, all the SATA ports are in use, as these disks were purchased to be upgrades / spares and I was planning on preclearing them before putting them in the cupboard for when the oldest disks die.

Sorry, you are right, I've been using it that long I forgot that it wasn't a native 6 tool.
