[SOLVED] - remove drive from array

[DataHearth]

Hello there!

 

I've been looking for a solution on how to remove a failed drive. I've found this link but also few post in the forum saying to move data out of the drive then remove it with a new config.

I don't plan replacing the drive any time soon.

 

If I'm following the link instructions, will my data be lost (I guess not) ?

 

Thanks !

Any data on the drive will no longer be on your server. New Config will not affect any of your other data disks, it just rebuild parity.

 

attach diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread if you want more advice

Thanks for quick reply as always :).

 

I'm not sure why the drive failed but I suspect this is related to a thread I've made a month ago: topic . I've updated my BIOS firmware and the problem went away. I'm hoping that if I remove this drive, it will be more stable and hopefully no other drives would spin down.

 

I'm gonna move my data to another disk and then remove it as you suggested in other posts. Tho, if you have time to analyze the diagnostic, I'll gladly take it :).

 

Here's the diagnostic.
