Can I remove a disc from a flex-raid volume
Hi All I had a volume disk die on me a week or so ago so I pulled it out, stuck a new one in and the volume rebuilt - all good. I took the old disc out and put it in my desktop and ran the WD...
What ReadyNAS do you have and what firmware is it running?
Once the volume is built, there is no way to shrink it. You'd have to destroy it and build a new one (restoring data from backups).
If you are using RAID-5 flexraid (or single redundancy flexraid) then you should end up with a 9 TB volume size (~8.2 TiB). If this is not what you are getting, then something isn't right.
I have a ReadyNas 314 with Firmware 6.4.2

Thx.
You'll either need to live with the larger array, or do one of the procedures below:
(a) do a factory reset, and restore the data from backup
(b) destroy volume, remove the disk, create a new volume, and restore the data from backup.
With (b) if the apps are installed to this volume, you'll need to uninstall them first, and then reinstall them after the new volume is created.
