Hey guys, so short story...

One of my HDD fail, finally I got a replacement which I formated, mounted (forgot to pre-clear) and then started my UnRaid and now is rebuilding my UnRaid.

 

Question is:

1. Should I let it be or somehow try to unmount       and pre-clear?

2. Is it worth it?

3. What are the cons/pros on doing that?

 

P.d. all other drives were precleared.

 

Thanks in advance.

You should stop rebuild, stop array, unassign then preclear.

There could have different cons/pros .... but I haven't pre-clear disk longtime ago, I only will do that if I really want to stress that disk.

Let it go.  Afterwards, run an extended SMART test on the drive.  It's basically the same thing as a single pass pre-clear.

Thank you guys for your reply, I was actually performing a Smart Extended Self-test which took a good 8-9hrs and no errors. So I'll let it be with the Smart test (unless I get more recommendations to run a preclear).

Thanks again guys and stay safe...
