Yeah, but I already have 2 of the replacement disks, both doing the same
thing. One has a firmware newer than my old disk (so originally I thought
that was the cause, and requested another replacement disk). But then we
got a replacement disk which is identical in every way to the failed disk
... but it still appears smaller for some reason.
So this happened on my SSD. What's to prevent it from happening on one of
the spindle disks in the future? Nothing that I know of ...
Just keep in mind that this has been fixed in OpenSolaris for some
time, and will surely be fixed in Solaris 10, if not already. The
annoying issue is that you probably need to add all of the vdev
devices using an OS which already has the fix. I don't know if it can
"repair" a slightly overly-large device.
