Remove Hard Drive from Amahi Server
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:49 am
I am trying to remove a hard drive from my Amahi server, but I am struggling. I am short of storage space on another machine and have excess capacity in my Amahi server, so I want to borrow a drive until I have time to get another one.
It was part of the Greyhole pool, but it didn't yet have anything on it (Disk stats shows it as empty), so I unticked it to remove it from the pool.
I searched the wiki and found this guidance to remove a drive from Amahi https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/How_to ... e_from_LVM but when I try to use the vgreduce command as the guide says, I get an error saying that the command has not been recognised.
I don't want to just shut down the server and unplug the drive because I am worried that will break the server. Is there anything I need to / can do to dismount the drive and safely remove it in the server config before I physically remove it?
