June 17, 20251 yr So I am new to Unraid. I choose XFS for the array, clicked start. 20 mins later decided I actually wanted XFS encrypted. Clicked cancel chaged to XFS encrypted clicked start. 12 hours later everything works, array shows up as XFS encrypted however 250GB is used. I reckon this is from the intial XFS format? So i'd like to erase everthing and start again with a clean formatting off XFS encrypted. Yet the Erase button is greyed out?Any ideas?

June 17, 20251 yr Author Fair enough, good to know. 250GB just seemed like a lot. (Have 3x 12TB drive 2x parity)For future reference how would I however reformat a drive to the same files system it currently is for a clean start? Considering "erase" remains greyed out?
