slurpee7 Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Newbie question - I'm needing to take a drive out of my array. I do have a parity drive setup. I'm wondering what the best way to take the drive out without losing data?
DoeBoye Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Are you permanently removing a drive from the array, or replacing a bad drive?
Joe L. Posted August 26, 2011 Posted August 26, 2011 Move any files you want to keep off of it,then use the initconfig command to set a new disk configuration after stopping the array and unassig.img the disk to be removed.

'unassig.img': This threw me for a loop. I actually googled that before I realized it's a typo for 'unassigning', yes?
