FWIW I've had similar issues with Intel 750 PCIe NVMe drives when
attempting to use 4K blocks on Linux with EXT4 on top of MD RAID1 (software
mirror). I didn't dig much into because too many layers to reduce at the
time but it looked like the drive misreported the number of blocks and a
subsequent TRIM command or write of the last sector then errored. I mention
it because despite the differences the similarities (Intel NVMe, LBA#3/4K)
and error writing to a nonexistent block. Might give someone enough info to
figure it out fully.
