Hi Richard,

First of all, thanks a lot for tracking this down!

Perhaps we can calculate the capacity before allocating the struct,
so the error is simpler?

Do we absolutely need to print an error to the console (not all drivers
print errors on every error condition)? Isn't it clear enough from the errno?

If we really want to print something, I suggest something like:
"block: volume too large, cannot create", "block: volume too large to create".

Should we use E2BIG (Parameter list too large) or EFBIG (File too large)?

I don't really like the error that's printed by ubiblock on the first case:
"Parameter list too large". Maybe "File too large" is a bit better?

We can get rid of this mutex_unlock if we take it after getting the capacity.

Maybe you can clean the locks first, and then do this fix?
