+Subject: [PATCH] super1: fix choice of data_offset.
+
+While it is nice to set a high data_offset to leave plenty of head
+room it is much more important to leave enough space to allow
+of the data of the array.
+So after we check that sb->size is still available, only reduce the
+'reserved', don't increase it.
+
+This fixes a bug where --adding a spare fails because it does not have
+enough space in it.
