Hm. Okay, I can see the real problem lying in the RPCs. Maybe solving
this type issue is something to think about for AFS3. We should
support 64bit integers. I know it's not common at all to have 20Tb of
disk space (or 6.4 for that matter) in a single server, but it will
happen. I don't think that requiring anyone in that situation to have
10 /vicep[a-j] is a good solution.
