Perhaps this isn't a much needed feature, but is there a way to remove a disk from the pool without moving data around?
I had 4x 1TB disks in the pool which I've copied to a single 4TB disk. I want to remove the old 1TB disks from the pool without moving data onto other disks. It seems that this isn't possible.
Ideally I could just collapse the pool without doing anything to the individual disks but I don't see that either.
Thanks.

I suspect that a lot of people are using SnapRAID in conjunction with DrivePool.
In my case where I was upgrading the 1TB to 4TB drives, I didn't have enough space on the remaining 1TB drives for the contents of the 1TB drive being removed to be redistributed across the rest of the drives. I also didn't want to wait an hour for it to copy everything over.
Now that I'm using 4TB drives, upgrading to larger drives later will be an even bigger challenge.
