Accidentally replaced drive with a larger one


Recommended Posts

Edit:  I ended up switching out some drives in another system, and now rebuilding with a 4TB drive.  Had to sacrifice some data that was on the drive though. 

 

Have an urgent issue with my Unraid server.  This morning, had a drive failure on a 3TB drive.  I stopped the array and replaced it with a 4 TB drive accidentally (this drive had important data NOT on the array).  I then stopped that re-build, and tried to replace it with the correct 3TB replacement. But, now it is saying that it is too small.  How can I force Unraid to accept the 3TB drive, which is the only data amount that it would need to restore?
