smellthebean Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I have followed all of the steps as outlined in the disk removal section: https://wiki.unraid.net/UnRAID_6/Storage_Management#Removing_disks I have reassigned the disks per the previous arrangement except, of course, for the removed disk. Upon clicking Start (the array) I get a warning that parity disk content will be overwritten. I want to make sure that I am OK to click on Proceed! Thank you. Quote Link to comment
smellthebean Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 BTW, yes, I did check parity before brining the array down. Quote Link to comment

Yes, parity needs to be re-synced, since it's not valid anymore with a missing disk, unless the disk was cleared before removing, in that case you can check parity is already valid.

smellthebean Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 Thanks johnnie.black. Thx for caveat, too, as i did in fact move all files off the drive Quote Link to comment
Delarius Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Just remember that 'moving files off the disk' is not similar to 'disk is cleared' Moving files off the disk just means that the catalog entries in the file system are removed. A cleared disk would only contain zeros. Quote Link to comment
smellthebean Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Thank you for that clarification. I am in the rebuild process now. Quote Link to comment
