August 29, 201510 yr I have a 1TB drive that I would like to permanently remove from my array. There is nothing on it (I merely formatted it as an XFS drive in UnRaid). Is there a simple way to do this in UnRaid 6 - without replacing the drive?

Make sure you assign the correct drive to the parity slot.

Never tried to see if you can use the Unassigned Devices plugin to format a drive, but if you can't, you can assign the drive as the cache drive, format it xfs, then reassign your cache drive...
