Clarified that in current releases, the GUI only supports removing disks in RAID 1 configuration. If you do it with other redundant btrfs profiles, it will leave the pool degraded instead.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Documentation was updated to clarify that the GUI for removing disks in Unraid requires the pool to be configured with RAID 1 for both data and metadata on BTRFS, replacing the previous generic note about redundant RAID profiles.

In @docs/unraid-os/using-unraid-to/manage-storage/partials/remove-disk-gui.mdx:
- Line 4: Update the sentence that currently reads "The GUI currently only
supports removing devices if your pool is set up for %%RAID 1|raid1%% (for both
data and metadata for %%BTRFS|btrfs%%)" to (1) add the missing warning that
attempting disk removal via the GUI on pools using other redundant btrfs
profiles will leave the pool degraded, and (2) explicitly state the behavior for
ZFS pools (whether the RAID 1 requirement applies or if ZFS has different
support/limitations). Locate the sentence in remove-disk-gui.mdx and append a
clear warning sentence referencing non-RAID1 btrfs profiles leaving the pool
degraded, then add a short clarification line specifying the equivalent
requirement or difference for ZFS pools (e.g., "For ZFS, ...") so readers know
the exact support and risk.
