I have been doing some testing with Danny's patch, and it seems
something is still missing... The patch works fine, but the sector
counts in the metadata don't quite add up, and I still cannot get the
array to work.

I did some calculations based on the disk size, and it seems with the
8TB array the sector count in the metadata is 1024 sectors less than
what it should be. The disk size without a partition table is 7629395MB,
which would be 15625000960 sectors, but according to the metadata the
sector count is 15624999936...

I feel like there is some offset or rounding missing, but it seems odd
that it would only be an issue with larger arrays.
