This looks like a wraparound over 2^31 sectors, so the sector count
gets negative.  And then this is interpreted as a 64-bit unsigned:

(2^64 - (6*387621*16*63 - 2^31)) / 2 / 1024 =3D 9007199254644874 MB

Not exactly, but close enough to the reported 9007199253788533 MB, I
would think...  If anyone can explain the difference, please let us
know.  (I'm guessing that the LBA capacity of the individual drives is
a bit different from the 387621/16/63 geometry they're reporting.)

Anyway, this is probably some bug in the ataraid driver. :)
