I have seen the case before where a drive has been "kicked out" and when
you go to add it back, it is refused as "too small"
Grown defects have shrunk the device.
This CAN NOT HAPPEN. Drive never changes its size.
If you say so.

I have seen this exact issue happen at least twice.The arrays were
originally built.
After a failure they could not be rebuilt as one or more drives had
become too small.
If you have an explanation for that, I am all ears..
At that point it is a lot of work to recover as one needs to go and find
a drive that is bigger , to facilitate the recovery.
