Deleting RAID0 (ar0)

S

Hello.

I have installed freebsd on a two-disk RAID0 nvidia software from the motherboard. The resulting I / dev/ad4, / dev / AD6 and / dev / ar0.
I happen to disarm this raid0 and which operates traditional / dev/ad4.
Today is disabled the hard raid (nvidia) and it works only with a disc but is still working on / dev/ar0.
Is it possible to delete the raid0, and where do I start?

Converting from a RAID0 array to separate disks is complicated, since data is written to both drives. You can't (normally, sometimes you get lucky) just delete the array and use the disks individually.

The simplest solution is to:
  • backup all your data
  • remove the RAID settings in the BIOS
  • format the drives to remove all traces of the RAID setup
  • re-install the OS onto a single drive
  • restore your data
