Disk space is allocated in megabyte-sized chunks for performance
reasons.
That implies that there will be sub-megabyte areas of unused space
between partition table and partitions and at the end of disk as well.
Similar to the partition tables, raid and encryption both have metadata
which imply
Just to add in case it's helpful: the same unusable entry can be seen
when creating a partition in an encrypted volume. (Out of curiosity, can
I ask what this space represents?)

This bit should just not be displayed in the UI. I did this for
ordinary disks but for some reason it isn't working properly for RAID.
