June 24, 201412 yr So tonight I did something really stupid....... I am in the process of downsizing thus removing extra drives from my server. I removed all data from disk4 and disk6 and wanted to remove them from the array. I unassigned the drives from the devices age then used the New Config tool from the Utils page..... upon going back to the devices page I realised that I forgot to screen shot my existing config. What can I do to fix this?
June 24, 201412 yr Assign all drives to data slots and start the array. You should be able to browse all the disks except parity, which should say unformatted. After you determine which disks you want to remove and which stay and the slot you want them in, set a new config again and assign them the way you want, and rebuild parity. Then do a parity check, and make sure there are no errors in the syslog. As long as you do not assign a drive to the parity slot when you are trying to identify them, unraid will not overwrite your data.
