How to remove a drive without moving its files to another specific drive


pettakos

Question

What is the best policy regarding balancers in order to remove a drive from the pool without transferring its contents to another specific drive?

I don't care if the contents will be moved to other ones, I just don't want them to be moved to a specific one during the process.

Should I use drive usage limiter plugin and deselect both duplicated and unduplicated options from that drive?

As far as the main balancing options are concerned, which ones should I select?

Well, the "Drive Usage Limiter" balancer will allow you to clear out a disk, "prepping" it for removal. 

It should also prevent new files from being placed on that drive as well. 

 

 

As for the actual removal, you may want to check this out:
