> This is a problem for replacement, not creation. You're talking about solving the problem in the future? I'm talking about working around the problem today. :) This isn't a fluffy dream problem. I ran into this last month when an RMA'd drive wouldn't fit back into a RAID5 array. RAIDZ is subject to the exact same problem, so I want to find the solution before making a RAIDZ array.
> The authoritative answer is in the man page for zpool. You quoted the exact same line that I quoted in my original post. That isn't a solution. That is a constraint which causes the problem and which the solution must work around. The two solutions listed here are slicing and hacking the "whole disk" label to be smaller than the whole disk. There is no consensus here on what solution, if any, should be used. I would like there to be, so I'll leave the original question open.
