====== RAID - mdadm - Remove the RAID ======

<code bash>
sudo mdadm --remove /dev/md0
</code>

Then edit the **/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf** file and comment out the RAID definition.

<file bash /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf>
#ARRAY /dev/md0 level=raid5 num-devices=3 metadata=1.2 spares=1 name=bionic:0 UUID=76c80bd0:6b1fe526:90807435:99030af9
#  devices=/dev/sdb1,/dev/sdc1,/dev/sdd1
</file>

Also, edit **/etc/fstab** file and comment out the line that enables auto-mount of the RAID device.

mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sda1
