You will have to resize to the smallest (30401 cylinders).

Hello everybody,
I've been using a Raid5 with 3 disks of exactly the same size, a little bit more than 250 GB (reported as 251)
Disk /dev/sdc: 251.0 GB, 251000193024 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30515 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdc1 1 30513 245095641 fd Linux raid autodetect
Now I want to add a 4th disk - and got one slightly smaller:
sanjose:~ # fdisk -l /dev/sdd Disk /dev/sdd: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk /dev/sdd doesn't contain a valid partition table
Is it nevertheless possible (with some minimal losses in possible size) to add the new disk? The Funny thing - all disks are from Maxtor, and should have the same size.
Thanks a lot
Michael
