May 16, 20251 yr I was following the docs to remove a drive from my system without having to rebuild parity and it looks like there are a few corrections that need to be made. Is there a way to do a pull request or something to have the docs updated? Specifically, under the "Alternate Procedure steps for Linux proficient users" it states that the command to run the clear is as follows: umount /mnt/diskX dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mdX status=progress But as the /dev/ paths have changed the command is actually: umount /mnt/diskX dd bs=1M if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mdXp1 status=progress Also, the documentation links to a forum post which has the "clear an array drive" script but the script will not run on the latest versions without modifications (not the least of which is updating the dd command as above). There's a post in the forum thread that appears to have the relevant updates in it (here) but it would be preferred if the docs linked to a fully functional script. Honestly, ideally the system would have a built in procedure for removing a drive without rebuilding parity but if this is the supported, and documented, procedure for now then it should at least be accurate.
