How to wipe an array and start from scratch?


Recommended Posts

Hi I recently reconfigured my UnRAID box and that involved the removal of 8X4TB drives from the array. My plan was just to wipe the array and start from scratch, but after using tools->new config and then re assigning the remaining drives to their parity, disk, and cache slots and starting the array UnRAID started to rebuild what it could of the previous array. How do I just kill the old array to start from scratch???

Stop the array. Click on each disk in turn. Change their filesystem to something different. Starting the array will then let you format them. If you want you can then repeat the procedure to get them back to the filesystem you want.

Thanks I will do that!
