unRiad 6.12.6

Hello- I currently have 2 (two) empty disks in my array that I would like to remove from the array and use as a cache pool.

Is this possible?

Is there a reference article that I should look into?

I tried to remove the disks from the array and it showed them as :missing" and "emulated". (I put them back) How do I cleanly remove them?

Thanks-

OK, so I followed the steps as enumerated, until step 5

Start the array, but do not check the "Parity is valid" box. ---there was no checkbox to check for anything. and the system still shows the drive as

"disk is missing. contents emulated." which is what I was hoping to avoid, since the drive was empty.

Am I missing one obvious step?

The Apply button on the New Config page

Damn!,

So NOT the done...

That makes sense, I think.
