August 24, 20169 yr So, a drive died and I am currently working on replacing it. The drive that died was a 4TB drive and I am replacing it with a 6TB drive. When I attempt to bring the array online to rebuild the data on the new drive, I get "Disk in parity slot is not biggest." Which...I would understand if it really wasn't. However, the parity drive is also 6TB and even the same manufacturer and model. Unraid also mentioned "If you are adding a new disk or replacing a disabled disk, try Parity-Swap." So, I searched for that and am currently "copying". I was really just wondering if someone could give me any insight into why two identical models of drives would appear "unequal" in size. Is this normal or an indicator of something that could be bad? Thanks for any help on this.

August 24, 20169 yr Author Interesting. That is the exact problem. Something that is extremely interesting is that the warranty status page says the models are WD60EZRZ and WX81D65D97D3, while the actual drives both report WD60EZRZ to unraid. Thanks for the help. I guess I should have looked harder too, sorry.
