November 21, 20223 yr I have an extra disk spot in my array. I think this is preventing auto starting and I would like to remove it without using the data. Is that possible and what would the steps be?
November 21, 20223 yr Community Expert Unraid is quite happy to have gaps in the list of assigned drives, so something else is going on.

Yes if you use the New Config tool and change the disk assignments to the slots you want. The data on the drives will be left intact. However changing the drive slots invalidates parity2 so that needs rebuilding after making the change.
