In 2007 I bought 6 WD1600JS 160GB sata disks and used 4 to create a raidz
storage pool and then shelved the other two for spares. One of the disks failed
last night so I shut down the server and replaced it with a spare. When I tried
to zpool replace the disk I get:
zpool replace tank c10t0d0
cannot replace c10t0d0 with c10t0d0: device is too small
The 4 original disk partition tables look like this:
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 312560317 + 16384 (reserved sectors)
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 34 149.04GB 312560350
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0
4 unassigned wm 0 0 0
5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 312560351 8.00MB 312576734
Spare disk partition table looks like this:
Current partition table (original):
Total disk sectors available: 312483549 + 16384 (reserved sectors)
Part Tag Flag First Sector Size Last Sector
0 usr wm 34 149.00GB 312483582
1 unassigned wm 0 0 0
2 unassigned wm 0 0 0
3 unassigned wm 0 0 0

5 unassigned wm 0 0 0
6 unassigned wm 0 0 0
8 reserved wm 312483583 8.00MB 312499966
So it seems that two of the disks are slightly different models and are about
40mb smaller then the original disks.
One comment: The IDEMA LBA01 spec size of a 160GB device is
312,581,808 sectors.
Instead of those WD models, where neither the old nor new drives
follow the IDEMA recommendation, consider buying a drive that reports
that many sectors. Almost all models these days should be following
the IDEMA recommendations due to all the troubles people have had.
