Im sure this has been asked alot before.

I have one disk in an array that has SMART errors so I want to move everything out of it and take it out of the array, as I dont have party disks im not sure how to do that.
Is there no decommission plugin or way to do that?

 

(I have NAS in another house for backup. Please dont go off topic and tell me I should use party disks)

If you update to v7-beta you can use the mover to empty the disk, assuming enough space on the other array disks and no read errors.

Again. im sure everyone has asked this. 
When will 7 be out of beta?
(not using a beta in my environment) 

AFAIK there's no set date, but if no major issues are found with the latest beta, rc1 should be out soon, and stable soon after that.

I have v7.0.1 now. 
How do I tell the mover that I want to empty a disk onto another and remove it from the array?

From the release 7.0.0 notes:

Using 'mover' to empty an array disk

 

Mover can now be used to empty an array disk. With the array started, run this at a web terminal:

mover start -e diskN |& logger & # where N is [1..28]

Mover will look at each top-level director (share) and then move files one-by-one to other disks in the array, following the usual config settings (include/exclude, split-level, alloc method). Move targets are restricted to just the unRAID array.

 

Watch the syslog for status. When the mover process ends, the syslog will show a list of files which could not be moved:

maybe file was in-use

maybe file is at the top-level of /mnt/diskN

maybe we ran out of space

This part is not done by mover. but the procedure for it has not changed.
