Removing Drive... Forever.

[Frennan]

Hello,

 

I'm trying to remove a drive from the pool, however it just sits at Removing drive... for hours and hours and hours... Is it normally supposed to take a super long time? When removing I checked both options to Force damaged drive removal and duplicate files later... which is supposed to make the removal fast.

 

Any other ideas?

 

Thanks in advance!

Could you grab the logs from the system?

Otherwise, try using the "Disk Usage Limiter" balancer to clear the drive in question.  Uncheck both options for the drive, and let it sit.

 

 

And yes, in both cases, drive removal may be slow, as it's removing all of the data from the drive in question. If you don't have a lot of duplicated data, then it will take longer.
