I feel like this is answered somewhere but my google-fu is lacking and I can't find the answer.
I have 2 , 2TB parity drives in my unraid. Parity1 has started tossing SMART errors so I'm going to replace it.
I have a 4TB drive I can replace it with.
The process I was going to try is
- stop the array
- remove parity1 from the assignments.
- power off
- replace parity1 with a 4TB drive
- power on
- assign the 4TB drive as parity (at this stage I will have a 2TB and a 4TB parity drive, will that work?)
- let the parity rebuild
- eventually replace the other 2TB drive with a 4TB drive.
Does that seem sane? Do I need to do anything special for replacing a failed parity drive vs a data drive?
Thanks and sincerely sorry if this is answered somewhere already.
(FIXED) 1 of 2 parity drives failed, replace with a larger one?

That procedure worked, I'm rebuilding Parity1 now with a 4TB and when that is done and stable I'll swap in another 4TB drive for Parity2. Thanks!
