July 3, 20215 yr 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?
July 3, 20215 yr Community Expert 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.
July 3, 20215 yr Author 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, 20215 yr by S7icky
July 3, 20215 yr Community Expert 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.
