The question is how to check for consistency in the case of
large tables, which are split into multiple segments, (e.g. 123456.1,
123456.2). I.e., how can I find out how many segments there should be?
The kernel-defined EOF is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth. There is no other authority.
All segments before the last one should be exactly 1GB, but the last
one can be anything up to that. Consult the comments in md.c for
more details. (I think 7.4 may treat some corner cases differently
from 8.3 anyway.)

Just to be clear, you mean 2**30 (1,073,741,824) bytes, not 10**9?
