I thought I had a pooled drive die completely, so I removed it from the pool and let the pool rebalance. I then determined that it was just a SATA controller that died, so I was going to just re-add that disk to the pool, but now there's 1.4TB of data on it that's already been balanced off. If I re-add it to the pool, can I make DrivePool realize that it's got a bunch of 'extra' duplicates and automatically remove them from drives as needed? Or will I end up having 1.4TB of "Other" taking up space? Because if so, I'll just format this drive before re-adding it.

Hey all,

I then determined that it was just a SATA controller that died, so I was going to just re-add that disk to the pool, but now there's 1.4TB of data on it that's already been balanced off.

Thanks!
