S7icky Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Hey new person here. Quick question. I had a drive fail and i didnt have a parity. How do i remove the failed drive if i dont care about whats on it? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Tools - New Config will let you assign disks however you want including adding, removing, or changing the order. Then, when you start the array, any disk assigned to any parity slot (if any) will have parity built. Quote Link to comment
S7icky Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Kinda confused with that. What option would i select all i see on the new config is this Preserve current assignments: All Array slots Pool slots So i would just select none then it would give me further options? Just dont wanna break this lol.. And will i lose all the other data on the other drives or no. The only thing on the failed drive is random crap i dont need. I got all the app data moved off it already. Thanks ahead of time for the help. Edited July 3, 2021 by S7icky Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 All options can be used. Easiest is to select ‘All’, return to Main tab and unassign disk you want to remove, make any other changes you want (e.g. Re-order drives) and then start array to commit assignments. Quote Link to comment
