The problem is that we can't create a >2GB dump file, not create a >2GB
file in AFS.  We have a volume of 20GB and we can't dump it out.

We have two AFS machines.  If the first AFS in Linux is upgraded to 1.2.11
and the second AFS server in XP is upgraded to 1.2.10.  Does the quorum
bug still exist?  Do the AFS volume still accessible using newer version
of software.

We are hesitated to upgrade to a higher version because we don't
understand the quorum problem.  We have stored nearly 200GB
enterprise files in the old version AFS and a proper migration process has
to be carried out carefully.

What is your suggestion in this migration?
