RE: Removing a failed drive permanently

You have to stop the RAID first.  Remove the drive, then re-create a new
raid with the remaining drives.

Subject: Removing a failed drive permanently

I have replaced a failed drive with a new drive before but I'd like to
pull one that I have no intention of replacing.  The system is at only
20% and losing a 8GB drive will make virtually no difference in overall
capacity (this is a seldom used test/development system).

Once I pull the failed drive, what do I run so that the RAID set "knows"

that the drive won't replaced and that it has to rebuild the "lost" 
drive using the remaining drives in the set?
