Why not try just whacking the last value down a few blocks? (i.e. set it to
5132000) You might be off calculating the exact size of the disk, and
leaving 1 Meg wasted at the end of the disk probably won't hurt you. I know
this fixed one install we were doing a long time ago. This may not be your
problem, but it is worth trying.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors
than zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
