Description

In testing on the dogfood rack, I found I could create a disk up to 1023 GiB, but any larger was
too much for the crucible downstairs to create.

Research direction

Reproduce disk creation on the dogfood rack at sizes above 1023 GiB, then trace the disk-creation path and its interaction with Crucible. Done means the system can create disks larger than 1023 GiB without Crucible rejecting the operation.
