fysmd Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 OK so I'm runniing 6.0.1 and all has been very well (on various versions) for years but I was in the process of adding an addition (1TB) Drive, changed my mind (noticed smart errors). I did get as far as allocating the disk, then noticed the errors so I never formatted or added the drive. I've removed the drive but now the array shows a missing device (despite it never having been fully added). As there was no data on it, how can I now remove the allocation (drive13). I have no option to allow me to test or rebuild parity server-diagnostics-20150831-1616.zip Quote Link to comment

Make VERY sure you don't assign a data disk to the parity slot. Quote Link to comment
