I am running Stablebit Scanner and Drivepool on a home server that uses Windows Home Server 2011. I have 9 drives in my pool. One is a new WD Red Pro 6TB drive. That new drive now has a SMART warning showing reallocated sectors. So I'll get it replaced. However, I am unable to remove the drive from the pool. When I click on "remove drive from the pool," I get the error "Drive not removed from the pool The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error". I get the same error even when I click the "Force damaged drive removal" option.
Also, my pool condition is at 50%, showing duplication warnings. There are a number of files that show they could not be checked, duplicated or cleaned up due to an I/O device error.
In the meanwhile, I am unable to add files to the pool or delete files that are in the pool.
How can I remove the drive from the pool and regain control over my files in the pool?
