February 1, 20233 yr Hi I am trying to shrink an array by removing a 1TB Samsung hard-drive, I have done following in order 1) Remove all data from that drive 2) Remove that disk from all shares 3) Stop array Once arrays stops, on trying to remove that drive or replace with a bigger drive, it errors out saying "Wrong" or says Missing no device "SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJ1CQ726821 - 1 TB" I am unable to write the new config from the tools menu because of the error. The array works just fine with that disk being part of it(no disk errors). Please help.
February 1, 20233 yr See the doc about shrinking array: https://wiki.unraid.net/Manual/Storage_Management#Removing_data_disk.28s.29 1 hour ago, sonisame said: I am unable to write the new config from the tools menu because of the error. That does not make sense, "New Config" precisely clears the error. You're clicking "Apply" and not "Done", right? Edited February 1, 20233 yr by Kilrah

February 2, 20233 yr 2 hours ago, sonisame said: 2) Remove that disk from all shares If you leave a User Share's settings for Include and Exclude at their default (blank) settings, it will automatically use all disks in the array (and no disks you have removed, obviously). That way you don't have to worry about it.
