Degraded array - but only have larger replacement disk


Go to solution Solved by JorgeB,

I have an array entirely made up of 6TB drives.

A data drive fails.

It was with warranty so I had it replaced, BUT WD sent me a larger drive (8TB).

I stop my array.

Put in the new drive.

And I receive the error that "Disk in parity slot is not biggest" - and I am unable to rebuild my array.

 

What's the correct procedure in this scenario?
