Size of the volume
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.
