I have a 24 drive pool. About 3 days ago, drive 24 just dropped. I would reboot and it would remain in the pool for about 5 mins then drop again. Each time I tried to "remove" it via the remove function, it would drop before I could.
So I unplugged the drive, removed it from the pool and started the duplication check. (Hopefully everything is fine).
In the mean time, I'd like to plug the drive back in even though intermittently and try to get a file print out to compare what was on it vs what I have in the pool (to check duplication). The problem is that as soon as I plug it in it immediately is added to the pool. There's some configuration file on the drive that makes it think it's part of the pool.
I'm going to assume it's the root directory but if my suspicions are correct, any amount of serious writing/reading to the drive causes it to drop so creating a new root and moving the contents there would force drop it. Is there one particular file I can delete that will allow me to read the contents of the drive and keep it separate from the pool?
