After replacing the second drive, eventually, you can resize the volume to 6TB]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I have a simple setup of two hard drives mirrored together.  One of those drives failed and I need to replace it.  Both original drives were 5TB each, but the replacement I've identified is a 6TB drive.  Can I match a 6tb drive with a 5tb drive in a mirror setup?

I'm thinking the 5tb drive will fail next and then I could end up with two 6tb drives mirrored together.

Thanks!]]></content:encoded>
