As the title says, I added 2 new 8TB disks to my array, and made one a parity drive. Upon adding the second one to the storage pool, I cannot start the array due to the largest disk not being in parity. They are both the same model of 8TB disk. This post seems to have a similar issue, but I tried using the solution provided and it did not work, and I don't know what to do from there. I looked at the sector info for both disks and it looks like the parity drive has less sectors than the one I'm trying to add, but I don't know how to fix that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
