Disk remove

I, too, have a disk showing it's Referenced. I have reviewed the config.xml file, but I am a neophyte about looking at the file and making any determinations. What should I be looking for that might indicate a reference on that drive? What pattern of information should I be looking for?

This is an update.
I had a disk that had been EXT4 and was referenced, and wanted to format it BTRFS. Couldn't mount it, couldn't delete it, etc., etc. I finally looked up some commands on the web and ran this:
mkfs.btrfs -f -L sdadisk1 /dev/sda. The "stuck" drive then finally disappeared from the File Systems tab, and I was able to Create it, and Mount it. What's interesting is that the Reference is still there.

In config.xml search for <sharedfolder> and look if there is some reference folders, like bitTorrents files and locations or DataBase folder of PlexMediaServer, or something else. If you can identify 'uuid' disk your search is more easy, because you can see what is pending.

Well, the UUID is a problem. I did try to get the UUID that matches my drives, but just don't know how to do that. I can't find any way to identify the UUID to the disks. I haven't found anything in the WebGUI and don't know a command that would tell me that on the command line.

Update - found out how to get the UUID matches to the drives: blkid /dev/sda (et al).
Using "cat /etc/openmediavault/config.xml | more", I can't see anything that would indicate why the sda drive is referenced. Crazy.

How would I search my disk for what might be pending?

May be some shared folders are referenced to that disk.

Here is the shares section of the config.xml:

<shares>
<!--
<sharefolder>
<uuid>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</uuid>
<name>xxx</name>
<comment>xxx</comment>
<mntentref>xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx</mntentref>
<reldirpath>xxx</reldirpath>
<priveleges>
<privelege>
<type>user|group</type>
<name>xxx</name>
<perms>0 = no permission|5 = read and execute|7 = read, write and execute</perms>
</privelege>
</priveleges>
</sharefolder>
-->
</shares>

Can't see anything there. And no shares appear to have been set in any of the other items in the file. This isn't a problem (I don't think) now that I have the drive formatted as BTRFS and everything appears to be functioning correctly. I would just like to know what it is.

But, now that I have BTRFS formatted on all the drives, I can implement SnapRaid, set up Users, Backup, and move my files that were backed up from my failed HPMediaServer that got this whole OMV thing started in the first place.
