I was under the understanding that you CAN put in larger drives, BUT they format identically to the smaller drive. There are some exceptions I do not remember what.

Until I read this thread, I've never heard of building RAIDs on bare

I allways make partition few GB smaller than the physical size.
It's not always possible to get the same type of the replacement disk.
