Drive stuck under Historical Devices


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I recently upgraded my server with more storage space, and decided that in order to maximize storage space, I would add the old 6TB parity drive as a storage drive alongside the new drives. Apart from a DOA drive, this went well and after 25 hours of parity rebuild followed by 27 hours of disk clear/parity sync, everything works.

 

However, the old parity drive, which obviously was known to the system, is now stuck in Historical Devices. The Remove button/cross doesn't work and is white rather than red. When I point to it, the cursor doesn't change, indicating there is no link to whichever function will trigger when clicked.

 

Is this something a reboot will fix? Or stop the array, remove drive from HistDev, then restart the array?

 

If so, I'll just leave it until my replacement 18TB arrives, as I will have to stop the array at that point anyway.
