And the attribute fork was:

rbd\udata.66039648e29a80.0000000000000d35__head_23EA10B8__5:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET	BLOCK-RANGE		AG AG-OFFSET          TOTAL FLAGS
  0: [0..7]:		1461176488..1461176495  8  (1163688..1163695)     8 00000
  1: [8..31]:		1461176504..1461176527  8  (1163704..1163727)    24 00000

I just created a filesystem and attribute list identical to the
above, and came up with a attribute fork that looks like:

/mnt/scratch/udata.66039648e29a80.0000000000000d35__head_23EA10B8__5:
 EXT: FILE-OFFSET      BLOCK-RANGE      AG AG-OFFSET        TOTAL FLAGS
   0: [0..7]:          120..127          0 (120..127)           8 00000
   1: [8..15]:         112..119          0 (112..119)           8 00000
   2: [16..23]:        104..111          0 (104..111)           8 00000

IOWs, there's an extra block in the attribute fork that is causing
problems than there needs to be.  That tends to imply attribute
overwrites might be contributing here (the 3-phase overwrite
algorithm increases the space usage) so I'm going to need to try a
few different things to see if I can get an attribute fork into the
same shape....

agcount=32 will actually be slowing your disks down. The default of
4AGs is usually best for a single spindle as it has sufficient
allocation cncurrency but results in much fewer seeks than a higher
AG count....

Cheers,

Dave.
