Damn - I managed to misscalculate the offsets (did /512 once itstead of
1024), but nevertheless it may fit here.
The given write is near the end of your 400G drive.
You should carefully check your partition sizes - not that your FS is
just a few sectors longer than the partition.
Don't forget to check the offset + 64k, which marks the end of the
data range that the transfer wants to access and check all partition
layers (slice, disklabel, etc) about correctness.
