Cannot remove volume/pool after creating #69

Closed brg3466 closed 1 year ago

brg3466 commented 1 year ago

Hi, first would like to thank you so much for the script ! I created a RAID1 pool with 2x 2T non-synology NVMe SSD. But after creating, I cannot remove the volume nor the pool. (I changed the mind and wanted to create a RAID0 pool with these 2 m.2 SSD , I run the script again but it is said the drive is already being used by DSM).
How to remove the m.2 SSD from the volume/pool ? Thank you!

If you run the script with the --all option it will allow you to select any detected NVMe drives, even if they have already have a RAID array on them.

sudo -i /volume1/scripts/syno_create_m2_volume.sh --all

Note: Replace /volume1/scripts/ with the path to where the script is located.

Did the script stop there or did it also show ERROR 5 Failed to create syno partitions! error?

If it showed the ERROR 5 Failed to create syno partitions! error I could change it to suggest running the script again.
