Install the xattr utility tool:

apt install python-xattr

Assuming the root of the mergerfs filesystem is /storage, use xattrs to view the pseudo .mergerfs file:

cd /storage
xattr -l .mergerfs

returns:

From within the root of the mergerfs filesystem (eg. /storage)

xattr -w user.mergerfs.srcmounts '-/mnt/data/disk05' .mergerfs
 
or, for removing two disks use:
 
xattr -w user.mergerfs.srcmounts '-/mnt/data/disk04:/mnt/data/disk05' .mergerfs

From within the root of the mergerfs filesystem (eg. /storage)

xattr -w user.mergerfs.srcmounts '-/mnt/data/disk4/storage' .mergerfs
