I haven't been able to ascertain this while searching throught the forums and blogs. While removing a drive from the pool, is the pool still useable through the remaining drives? In other words, is my server unuseable until Drivepool finishes removing the drive from the pool? As this could take a day or so to perform, I am trying to figure out if I will still have PC Backup, FTP, Media streaming, etc available during this time. Is Drivepool smart enough to allow you to still use the remaining drives in the pool while removing a single drive from the pool?
This will help me plan a little more if I am not going to have the use of my server for a day or so. The drive I am planning to remove is fine, but I just don't want it in the pool any longer as it's a USB 2.0 drive and way too slow. This could take quite some time to remove a 2TB USB 2.0 drive so I hate to have the server down totally during this process. But if it's the only way....
