54tgedrg45 Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) I want to remove disk1 from the array, and rebuild the parity without disk1. I've moved all data from disk1 to disk2, however there is still 8.8GB data on disk1(hidden?) When I remove disk1 and start the array three shares show "SOME FILES ARE UNPROTECTED", this probably because at first files where terrible scattered across all disks, with now each share assigned to it's own disk and data moved/arranged to disk (I moved data so no message "data outside assigned disk" on shares). All shares that live in cache only, don't show the unprotected message. All shares are assigned to disk2/3or4 or cache with disk1 excluded parity disk disk1 no file index 8.8GB hidden? disk2 in use by one share showing unprotected(holding the data of disk1) disk3 in use by one share showing unprotected disk4 in use by one share showing unprotected cache: (includes shares like Docker and ISO's) nvme1n1 nvme1n0 What hidden data lives on disk1, and if userdata how do I get it out?

No, this is because the array is unprotected if a disk fails. 10 minutes ago, 54tgedrg45 said: however there is still 8.8GB data on disk1(hidden?) XFS has a large overhead. Quote Link to comment
54tgedrg45 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Okay thank you for that , I now feel fine with it to rebuild the parity without disk1. * https://wiki.unraid.net/index.php/FAQ_remove_drive the two v6 links on top seem dead here, did one refer to: https://wiki.unraid.net/Shrink_array ?
