    The reason is empirically derived. When I created a 7 disk raid 5 set
    using "len 0" or all the space available, the raid set would be corrupt
    after initializing. Every time. When I reserved back that extra
    space, no corruption.
    (freebsd 4.10-p3) There was a thread on this a few days ago.
