March 9, 20215 yr Hi! I have a blank array so i don't mind losing data, so i would like to know how i do to change FS on drives, currently it's XFS, but i would like it to be BTRFS, i've already changed it in the defaults, but the format button doesn't appear anymore. Thank you for your help, Rafael.
March 9, 20215 yr you need to created a new config under Tools then assigned the drives to the slots and and start and it will ask you to format the drives. BUT before that happens you will need unassigned devices plug in. Once you do the new config all of the disk will appear under unassigned and you need to delete the partition on all of the disks then start the array to format it.

March 10, 20215 yr Did you change the file system type that shows up when you click on the disk in the Main section of the GUI? The array must be stopped to change it.
March 10, 20215 yr Community Expert Like mentioned you need to change the existing devices filesystem to a new one to be able to format them, default filesystem if for new devices only.
