DJRon Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I am using the preclear.dsk (ver 2017.07.10) pluginand am having an issue when trying to pre-clearing a disk. and get the following: Quote /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk/script/preclear_disk.sh: line 1030: echo: write error: No space left on device /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk/script/preclear_disk.sh: line 1031: echo: write error: No space left on device tail: write error: No space left on device /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk/script/preclear_disk.sh: line 780: echo: write error: No space left on device /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/preclear.disk/script/preclear_disk.sh: line 932: echo: write error: No space left on device Looking at my settings all the SATA drivers are set to AHCI (found this on another thread). Latest Diags are attached. Thanks in advance. epcot-diagnostics-20170822-1054.zip Quote Link to comment
unfun Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I am having the same issue using the latest Preclear.dsk tool. My array only has 5gb of space left though my cache should have around 600gb. please report back if you've found any solution and I will do the same. Quote Link to comment
DJRon Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I have not resolved this issue yet. I had a controller card go bad so I have to resolve that issue first. Quote Link to comment
unfun Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 DJRon, I am currently attempting to pre-clear my drive again and things seem to be going well. So I thought I'd give you an update. Since my last attempt back in August, it seems there has been an update to the pre-clear script. I attempted to run it just doing a clear - 1 pass. this failed. I attempted to verify all of the Disk, and then just the MBR this failed I attempted to get a smart status report: this failed I am currently running the pre clear script set to erase all of disk and then clear - 1 pass currently at pre-read 30% if this fails I will assume the drive is dead and I will try the preclear with a new drive. IF this works I will update and let you know how it goes. So maybe give it a try again, I hope it goes well for you! Quote Link to comment

DJRon Posted September 19, 2017 Author Share Posted September 19, 2017 Sorry I should have posted another update. Once I got the controller card replaced I used the following settings and the preclear completed successfully. I am ordering another drive and will preclear it when it arrives and let you know how it turns out. Quote Link to comment

OK, what's the recourse? I'm trying to preclear 2 8 tb drives mounted through USB and get the same 'no space left on device" error. I have 4 gb of memory. Is this an impossible scenario? I've had preclear falures on smaller drives fail also when mounted via USB. When this happens it brings down the entire server. This did not occur when the drives were mounted via SATA along with the array drives, but I'm out of SATA ports and the new drives are still in their shells. Is there a way to enable preclear to work on a USB mounted drive without this error? Thanks Quote Link to comment
JDBall Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Same problem for me when preclearing 8TB drives via USB. Thanks Quote Link to comment
DJRon Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 As I mentioned earlier, once I adjusted my settings as seen in the screenshot I no longer had the error. But all my drives are connected via SATA and not USB. Quote Link to comment
