Your math is wrong. Or rather, you are using the bogus power-of-ten definition of "MB" that disk manufacturers use to deliver less space. Use 128MB. Or better, specify "262144s".
Thanks very much, that was the final thing, and now I have a working array again and don't have to worry about pulling 6TB of data down from S3. I had no idea that you could use sectors as a suffix to data-offset as it's not in the manpage. So you should find attached a patch file which adds that suffix to the manpage. If this isn't the correct place to provide patches, or if there's an issue with the formatting of my patch, please let me know and I'll happily update it and send it to the correct place. Best Regards, Sam
