I want to remove a drive from array to unassigned. Right now there is a parity check on that drive but its items i dont need backed up so i need to move to unassigned devices. Any help?

 

I assume move data off drive> stop array > new config > start array without that drive > do parity check

 

Then set up unassigned drive?

New Config, Unassign the disk, Rebuild parity.

Do i need to pull data off that drive first?

The data will stay on the drive and you can mount it Unassigned.

But if you are unsure what you're doing backups are always a good idea.

Thank you!
