housewrecker Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 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? Quote Link to comment

housewrecker Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 Can I shrink the array without losing data and remove that empty drive spot? Quote Link to comment
Solution itimpi Posted November 21, 2022 Solution Share Posted November 21, 2022 Just now, housewrecker said: Can I shrink the array without losing data and remove that empty drive spot? 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. Quote Link to comment
