January 25, 20224 yr Im new to Unraid and trying to make the switch from OMV. I feel like im loosing my mind looking for something like Parted. Fdisk feels pretty terrible for basic use cases like clearing a entire drive or removing a partition. My question is. What does everyone use for basic disc and partition management? Ive tried googling and seen solutions like "stop array and change FS then restart" - this is nuts. Thanks in advance. Austin Edited January 25, 20224 yr by Lazuruz
January 25, 20224 yr Solution You've got the wrong end of the stick. Unraid must manage array disk partitions itself, so it can keep the novel parity protection scheme it uses in sync. For devices not in the array or pools, you can use the Unassigned Disks plugin with the companion destructive mode plugin.
January 25, 20224 yr Author Nice! Thanks. Yep that plugin is exactly what I was looking for. Im using ZFS so all the drives are considered unassigned. Its just strange to me that the functionality of that plugin isn't native to Unraid.
