March 5, 20179 yr I've started moving my data from reiserfs to xfs and just completed the transfer of data of 1 source disk to the new XFS formatted destination disk. I did the swap all looks good. Now, in the wiki it says to then format that former source 1 disk to continue on to the next... But I did/do not see an option to actually format the former source 1 disk. I think it needs to precleared again first? So can Unraid take an existing disk and reformat it? Or do you need to always preclear a drive before it can be formatted?
March 5, 20179 yr WIth the array stopped, click on the disk you want to format. This will take you to a settings page for that disk. You can change its filesystem there, then starting will let you format it.

I was thinking similar to adding a new drive after a preclear the format option was just there after starting the array. Moving on to disk 2 now. Hope to have it all done over the next few days.
