nosro Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I read the preclear thread, downloaded the sh file and put it on my flash drive. My Unraid tower boots and is at the "Tower login" prompt. I am Linux ignorant, so I'm sure this looks really dumb. Exactly what do I type to invoke the preclear script? Quote Link to comment

First, change directory to the flash drive by typing: cd /boot Then invoke the preclear command by typing: preclear_disk.sh /dev/sdX where sdX = the three letter device name of the disk you wish to clear.

nosro Posted August 6, 2010 Author Share Posted August 6, 2010 But first: login! As a Linux newb, this is where I am lost. How do I set login credentials at the "Tower login:" prompt? Is there a default login? Quote Link to comment
