Remove new disk from array (no data on that disk yet)


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I just mistakenly added a 8TB disk as part of my array and booted it up. I wanted to add it as my parity drive. Currently the array has 3x 6TB drives and a 250GB SSD as cache with no parity (I just booted the server last night). I added the new 8TB and mistakenly used it as an array disk. How can I remove this disk and set it as parity without losing any data from my current array? It will need to build parity when I add the 8TB as parity. 18TB array is around 50% utilized without backup (the data was moved from the 8TB to the array!), so I don't want to create the new array from scratch.

 

Thanks!

 

NVM, read up on the "New Config" option and all is well =)
