EcN Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 (edited) https://imgur.com/a/vctkeTG I thought it would just re-balance itself? https://imgur.com/a/q9NqeOl I also noticed in this FAQ did pretty much what I did. Stop Array Set cache drive 3 to no disk Start array again. Instead I get an error. Edited June 10, 2024 by EcN Quote

Solution itimpi Posted June 10, 2024 Solution Posted June 10, 2024 You can only remove a drive from a multi-drive pool if all aspects of it are set to a RAID1 profile or something similar. According to your screenshot this is not the case as metadata, etc are set to Single profile. Quote
JorgeB Posted June 10, 2024 Posted June 10, 2024 48 minutes ago, itimpi said: metadata, etc are set to Single profile. And they should never be like that, unless it started as a single device and the metadata failed to balance to raid1 when more devices were added. Quote
EcN Posted June 11, 2024 Author Posted June 11, 2024 Thanks, I may have started with a single drive, then immediately added a second one? Then added third one a week or so later. I assume the fix here then is to move all shares off cache, set new config and add the drives/drives back to cache. What's the correct procedure to add to a cache pool and what do I look at to make sure it's balanced correctly? Quote
JorgeB Posted June 11, 2024 Posted June 11, 2024 You can first try to re-balance to raid1 using the GUI, click on the pool and scroll down to the balance option, then post new diags. Quote
EcN Posted June 11, 2024 Author Posted June 11, 2024 Thanks, I'll try that next time if I run into the same issue. Ended up making a new config already. Quote
