I am upgrading both parity drives and removing three old drives. I have three old wd efrx 2TB drives to remove (used ckear-me script), the first one was removed flawlessly and took about 5 hours, the second one I had to abort after 18 hours as I was sure something was wrong. It is a very large array, but I surely do not believe it, expecially since they were empty (except for clear-me folder), should take that long. It had removed the 'clear-me' folder required for identification by the script. Am I correct to assume something went wrong and that I was correct in aborting the script? At this point should I replace the parity drives, remove the empty drives and rebuild the array keeping the original parity drives just in case? log_10162023.txt

I guess i stay at 6.9.0 then

Has this ever been resolved, I am still at 6.8+ and will never go to 6.9 unless it does...

Yes. I ended up removing everything and reformatting the disc. I have replaced the data and all is back to normal.

I have checked permissions and still have not been able to get rid of these guys Any help is much appreciated thanks Info in sig is correct

Too bad, even the extra step, messes with my automation

So now it seem Root User needs to have a password...never use one as my server is airgapped. is there a work around?

Thanks so much trurl.

Sorry to but in... I have three drives to remove, they are good drives (just shrinking array) and I have moved the data from each disk to different disks (yes I used disk to disk and not shares). I notice that there are small amounts of data left on the disks but nothing physically shows on the disks in krusader. Should i at this point just reformat these disks per 'clear drive then remove method' and continue or is there an easier way to do this?

Thank you for confirming that squid, and thanks for all your help Ice

Thanks Squid, sorry i sent the wrong one, here it is And thanks again, Ice mediaserver1-diagnostics-20210212-2200.zip

Yes, very much so, and greatly improved as far as cooling And thank you, Ice

Is a very high raw read rate error common in reconstruction? I haven't been here after a failure so any help would be awesome. thank loads, Ice mediaserver1-syslog-20210212-2004.zip

Thanks for the replies

I was wondering if that was correct? It just seemed too easy, turn it on and it works?
