January 9, 20251 yr Good morning, I currently have an array with 12 data drives and want to remove the 8 smallest ones. They do not have any data on them right now except for the XFS overhead (0 objects/directories/files). I am following along with the remove drives and rebuild parity method and had a question. At what point in the procedure do you shut down the server and physically remove the drives? Somewhere in the middle, or AFTER the parity rebuild in step 9? TIA!
