I cannot, for the life of me, remove a specific Volume or Storage Pool from my system.
I am running DSM 7+ on my DS918+ which has has the Dx517 Expansion Unit. I have 2 drives in the expansion unit that are currently part of Storage Pool 3, which has Volume 3 assigned to it. I want to remove both of these drives to repurpose into another system. I have no further need for Volume 3 and no need for Storage Pool 3. When I try to remove the volume or pool, it fails.
My Initial clean-up:
Volume 3 was in use by two shared folders. I moved those folders to volume 2 and no longer have any shared folders on Volume 3.
Volume 3 was being used as my Docker location. I no longer want to use Docker, so I uninstalled the application and let the deletion of the folders happen.
Volume 3 was being used by SynologyPhotos. I followed a guide to use ssh to "move" the application from Volume 3 to Volume 1.
After this clean-up, Volume 3 shows 20.5MB of data being used via Storage Manager.
If I ssh and check the contents of /volume3, I see two directories that I cannot get rid of as sudo via CLI:
@iSCSI and @sharesnap
I am not running a LUN on Volume3, and have no idea what sharesnap is for.
Advice? Is it as simple as shutdown and physically remove the drives and hope the system can forget the volume/pool, or allow removal after reboot? I am willing to try, but I am currently waiting for a drive scan to complete on a new drive that has been running for 12+hours.
