Does the new disk have the same or more LBA's as the others in the array? Sometimes like models of disk have a slightly different (less) number of LBA's (sectors). The LBA capacity is often on the disk label.
The fact that the error displayed on rebuild completion indicates to me that the RAID controller is not happy with that drive for some reason.
You could initiate another rebuild but the same will probably happen again; but worth a try. Otherwise, replace the disk again.

Syntax
#include <disktab.h>
Description
The file is a simple data base that describes disk geometries and disk partition characteristics. The format is patterned after the termi-
nal data base. Entries in consist of a number of fields separated by colons (:). The first entry for each disk gives the names that are
known for the disk, separated by vertical bars (|). The last name given should be a long name fully identifying the disk.
The following list indicates the normal values stored for each disk entry:
Name Type Description
ns num Number of sectors per track
nt num Number of tracks per cylinder
nc num Total number of cylinders on the disk
ba num Block size for partition `a' (bytes)
bd num Block size for partition `d' (bytes)
be num Block size for partition `e' (bytes)
bf num Block size for partition `f' (bytes)
bg num Block size for partition `g' (bytes)
bh num Block size for partition `h' (bytes)
fa num Fragment size for partition `a' (bytes)
fd num Fragment size for partition `d' (bytes)
fe num Fragment size for partition `e' (bytes)
ff num Fragment size for partition `f' (bytes)
fg num Fragment size for partition `g' (bytes)
fh num Fragment size for partition `h' (bytes)
pa num Size of partition `a' in sectors
