Now that a 1.5TB drive has failed, I'm replacing it with another 2TB drive, and wondering the best way to use the remainder 500GB
IMO, best practice is to leave it unused until *all* 1.5s are replaced with 2s, at which point you just tell mdadm to grow to use the extra 500 on each disk. (If you have a partition table, you probably will have to fiddle that first.)
