April 4, 201016 yr I'm about to start building tomorrow (cleared out all the old junk that was in the case I'm using - I might post a photo of the utter carnage of cable management that greeted me when I opened the case!! ) and I've got a couple of quick questions: 1) Does Joe L's preclear_disk.sh script run from a terminal window from another PC? I've got 2 x 2TB drives that will need to run this so it will take a while. Can the script run on both drives at the same time? (I just want to be 100% clear on how this part is done and how the script is run). 2) Are there any danger/warning signs to look for whilst building or testing? I found bjp's great step-by-step guide, but there's a number of testing phases which could throw some error messages or highlight problems. In all fairness I'm probably worrying about nothing in 2) - I've scanned the Troubleshooting guide and it seems to cover a lot of the potential problems. But, whilst I understand the process behind preclear_disk.sh, I'm not totally clear on how I run it. Maybe I've missed something in the notes.... Thanks all - and wish me luck for tomorrow!
April 4, 201016 yr 1) Does Joe L's preclear_disk.sh script run from a terminal window from another PC? ... ... Can the script run on both drives at the same time? Yes, you can run multiple sessions of the script to preclear multiple disks at the same time. Yes, you can run the preclear scripts from terminal windows from another PC. For remote sessions, you better run the script on top of the "screen" utility.

Just don't let the dog eat your flash key!
