Hello,
I have a setup with a 14TB parity drive and a 6TB data drive in my Unraid system.
I recently purchased a new 14TB drive and attempted to add it to my array as a data drive. However, when I try to start the array, it fails with the error: "Disk in parity slot is not biggest."
Here are the details of the two drives:
root@enterprise:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdl
Disk /dev/sdl: 12.73 TiB, 14000519643136 bytes, 27344764928 sectors
Disk model: ST14000NM001G-2K
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sdl1 64 27344764894 27344764831 12.7T Linux filesystem
root@enterprise:~# fdisk -l /dev/sdg
Disk /dev/sdg: 12.73 TiB, 14000519643136 bytes, 27344764928 sectors

Both drives are the same size and start at the same sector.
Can you help me integrate this new 14TB drive into my array, even if it means I need to shrink it slightly?
Thanks,
