Hi,
I'm trying to remove one of the drives from a pool that is striped across two drives (I know this is dangerous and can lead to data loss). The total amount of data stored is less than the capacity of the drive that is not going to be removed so it should fit, however, I don't know how to tell TrueNAS that I want to eject the drive.
I am a hobbyist who is fairly new to servers in general and the only reason that I have a pool striped across two drives is because I was hitting the capacity of my first drive, but that has been remedied. The problem is that the old PC that I am using to run TrueNAS only has 3 SATA ports, so with one for the boot drive, there is only capacity for two data drives. I will be purchasing a larger drive to replace the one being taken out, and would also appreciate some advice on how best to add this new drive in a way that is less dangerous, but I would really rather not have to deal with two pools.
Thanks
