Is this exactly 1TB, or slightly more?

I think you are running into the 2.4 block device layer limit here;
it uses 'int' variables in places to represent sector counts, where
1 sector equals 512 bytes.  So, at about 1 TB you start getting
sign overflows, and weird things happen ...

If you make sure you're using a total block device size of slightly
*less* than 1 TB, does it work then?

Well, that's a bug in any case, of course.
