I have an older CX4 with no support.

We finally lost enough drives out of our pool to make it fail.

Now, I tried to drop the pool, and it's managed to "unbind" several of the disks, but has been going for several hours now and I see no progress in the delete operation.

I have already split the array into more than 1 pool, so that once a pool fails I have been able to shuffle the luns around to other pools, then drop and recreate the pool as a smaller pool, and then move the luns back.

all this shuffling of the luns is probably driving a higher failure rate, but I don't know any better approach other than to revert to using a bunch of smaller raidgroups instead of pools.

Anyhow, back to the main issue, how can I get this "drop" to finish? It appears to be hung.
