yes, I was thinking about this but I wanted to just remove the whole 128mb disk and then use format to repartition this complete disk to give it full capacity... I have all the disks setup this way so I wanted to be consistent with it but its not letting remove that disk at all from the pool...128mb is not much to waste and I am not concern about it but as I said I wanted to be consistent and thats the reason why I wanted to remove the other disk...
Maybe what I can do is replace it with a different device if I can find it and then replace that disk with it and then partition it to my need and then replace the temporary disk with this new repartitioned disk... I thought there might be easier way to do it... Thanks for help.
