Interesting. We don't have any 2TB partitions, but do have some that
run about 1.4TB. Our 1.4.2 and 1.4.3rc1 clients report:
: scs@stargate {1/264} $; vos partinfo afs37.ifs.umich.edu
Free space on partition /vicepa: 553916904 K blocks out of total
1409175748
: scs@kedrigern {1/220} $; vos partinfo afs41.ifs.umich.edu
Free space on partition /vicepa: 1337560904 K blocks out of total
1337593748
Problem could be 1.5.14, or it could be that you need to get closer
to 2TB before it bites. Server is linux 2.4, afs 1.4.1rc7 with a few
patches. Our servers are mostly running 1.4.1.
