Neils suggestion and looking at /proc/partitions showed this up

Always leave a little space in the end; it makes sure you don't run
into that particular problem when you replace disks and the end of the
disk is often significantly slower anyway.
From before the write-intent bitmap stuff I have/had a habit of
creating separate raids on relatively small partitions (joined
together by LVM). I'd just pick a fixed size (on 500GB disks I'd use
90GB per partition for example) and create however many partitions
would fit like that and leave the end for scratch space /
experiments / whatever.
