Hi I'm trying to shrink my array because my disk4 is acting really slow based on diskspeed docker so I was planning on RMAing the disk. I've moved all the contents out from the disk4 so it shows up as empty but it still says there is 8GB of used space and I have no idea what it is. Is it safe to remove the disk?

 

 

 

 

XFS uses around 1GB per TB for filesystem housekeeping, so that's normal on an empty 8TB disk.

Thanks, is this the best way to shrink my array and remove the disk?

There are only two options, both are described there.
