NOTE: To facilitate coercion on new larger disk drives, the disk size must be
coerced down with a factor of 128 MB. Additionally, to comply with the latest
Disk Data Format standard, 512 MB of space must be reserved for RAID
metadata on the drive. This results in several hundred MB of space being
removed from the usable size of an volume when it is created.
