November 9, 2025Nov 9 I dun goofed.Five drive array, 6tb drives, 1x parity, 4x data. Drive 2 errored out, high CRT count.Bought a replacement, slotted it in, brought the array up, didn't stop to think I got an 8tb drive. So now the array cant start as parity is not the largest, but now I am down a disk so I cant swap the new drive to parity.Other than buying a 6tb drive, replacing failed then swapping 8tb with parity what are my options?

Drive 2 errored out, high CRT count.Do you mean "CRC" count?If so, this is almost always a cabling issue. Check/replace the SATA cable, and monitor for increasing error count (as CRC error count does not reset to zero). Edited November 9, 2025Nov 9 by ConnerVT
