This turned out to be because the disk label on the disk was incorrect.

The disk is presented to 2 nodes in an ASE cluster - the 2 nodes were
seeing different disk labels (presumably a stale entry from a previous
disk on the bus)

Zeroing & Re-labeling the disk (on both nodes!) seems to have fixed the
problem...
