disksuite deals with partitions, not whole disks.  try making a partition on
the slightly larger disk that is the same size as the first disk.  this is
not by any means optimal, but i've got two disks of slightly different size
that mirror each other, and it didn't give me any trouble, it just worked.

give it a shot, if you still have problems let me know and i'll think about it
a bit.
