same problem here:

bash-2.05a$ dd if=/dev/zero of=zero bs=1M count=3096
3096+0 records in
3096+0 records out
3246391296 bytes transferred in 91.868764 seconds (35337270 bytes/sec)

bash-2.05a$ cp zero /afs/net-labs.local/private/darks/
File size limit exceeded

i can create a 3gb file on a vice partition on the server:

storage:/vicepa# dd if=/dev/zero of=zero bs=1M count=3096
3096+0 records in
3096+0 records out

systems are running:

openafs-1.2.11
linux kernel 2.4.22 (debian)
ext3 fs everywhere

thanks for any suggestions
