How to break Raid 1 on centos

[Novisoft]

Hello,

I would like to break RAID-1 on Centos. I prefere using 2 separate disks and cpanel backup instead of raid 1 but I am looking for the exact steps to do that.

I am able to boot the server in rescue mode if necessary.

Below some outputs :

Hello

This is more of a filesystem issue and not necessarily related to the cPanel software. You will likely receive better input by searching for guides on this on a search engine or checking on a forum dedicated to discussions of RAID. For instance, searching "how to break raid1" on Google yields several results that you might find useful.

Thank you.
