I have a disk that...well I can't decide if it's going bad or what. It's being weird, so for now, I've decided to pull it from the pool so I can run more tests on it alone.
Anyway, I'm not clear on what the procedure is to have DrivePool eject a desk from the pool, but migrating all data off it first.
Some forum posts make it sound like I should use the scanner for this, but that sorta doesn't make sense to me since not everyone has that tool.
Some forum posts make it sound like the Remove option will do it, I'm just not clear which combination of checkboxes or if I just leave them clear, triggers the data migration. It sounds like leaving them clear.
Some forum posts make it sound like I should actually use one of the other balancers to force the data off? I just realized I think that the Scanner configured the disk to move all data off, the slider is set all the way back. So...presumably if I force a re-balance it will happen(I'm going to try that). I would still like a little explanation of my questions just to help with clarity for me.
