August 26, 20205 yr Hi folks, i need to shrink my array and found this link https://wiki.unraid.net/Shrink_array The "Clear Drive Then Remove Drive" Method mention a script (under point 8 - clear an arry drive) which is "very old" - from 2016 created by RobJ. Can someone tell me, if this script/method is still up to date or is there an other way for v6.8.3 to shrink the array? Thanks for your help Edited August 26, 20205 yr by Zonediver

Hi trurl and thanks for your reply. Yes, I thought so - then I'll do it the "old way" and have the parity rewritten
October 15, 20205 yr Just thought I'd chime in that the wiki process for shrinking the array while maintaining parity worked without issue for me.
