December 5, 201015 yr Hoping Joe L. can help... Have previously used preclear successfully, but am a complete amateur at Terminal (Mac OS X), so don't overlook something completely stupid that I am probably doing. Trying to run preclear on four newly added drives. They are NOT assigned in the Devices page, but they do appear in the drop-down. Using Terminal & screen, following configuration tutorial, I get to the root of the USB flash drive on my server. I type the preclear command, and I get that the drive is not a block device. I then run ls -l /dev/disk/by-id as instructed in a recent forum post, and the reply is No such file or directory. Tried it on all four drives, get the same answer. Don't know if it is an admin privilege thing (I have admin privileges on my Mac user account), I tried sudo and get the same problem. It may be a problem logging in as root user, which I cannot seem to do. Please help, my toddler (and CINCHOUSE) can't go several days with the media server down while it zeroes out drives...

You need to first use "telnet" to log onto the unRAID server. The "terminal" window you are using is looking at the files on your MAC. Joe L.
December 5, 201015 yr Author Thanks to both of you for the big assist. Next: When I enter the command "screen", it returns Cannot find terminfo entry for 'xterm-color'. So I can't get screen to run...any help there? I realize we're out of unRAID/unMenu land and now in If you don't know how, you shouldn't be doing it land... thanks for the help!
