I am shrinking my array to remove a 4 TB drive. I am using the docs for Shrink Array (maintaining parity) after watching SpaceinvaderOne's youtube video on 'How to safely shrink an Uunraid array.)

After the script had run, I clicked apply & done in the user scripts app, went to the main GUI page and scrolled down to stop the array, cliked over to the dashboard to see that the array 'play-stop button' showed that the array was stopped. Went to New Config and set it up per docs and video, went back to main page to take out the 4 TB drive and saw the array is still 'stopping' and the stop button is disabled.

 

I waited 45 minutes, it still shows that the array is 'stopping'. Is long a wait to stop the array normal? (see the circled 'stopping' in lower right of page to see what I mean)

 

EDIT: Still 'stopping...' after an hour and a half.

Please post the diagnostics, if you cannot get the full diags post the syslog at least.

How long did that take? Writing zeroes to the entire capacity of the drive and simultaneously updating parity takes a LONG time. Many, many hours.
