I see. Can you tell me the package versions of your

   gcc
   binutils
   util-linux
   modutils

too?

You might want to run the client with -w 0. I think raid5 scrambles the
write ordering already, so there's no point in trying to preserve it.
Or maybe they've fixed that.

If you get to 4TB (2^42 = 2^33 sectors) you will be exercising the
block counting code in the kernel pretty well, so it's worthwhile
mentioning it if it works! At 1024B blocks you will be at the
theoretical maximum, and you will need 2048 or 4096B blocks to bring
the block counts below 2^32.
