September 17, 201510 yr I found that i had precelared an Advanced Format drive (WD20EARX) with starting sector 63 and it is formated mbr not aligned for 4K, file system is RFS. I move all files to other disks now the disk is empty. I plan to stop the array change FS to XFS and mbr 4K aligned. Start the array and i guess that disk will show up unformated. And format the disk. Is this procedure correct? Do i need to precelar the disk again with -A flag?
September 17, 201510 yr Author unfortunately it is not possible to change the partition format Because of that i follow the shrink array procedure and preclearing the disk again. https://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Shrink_array
