[Forgive the Transarc AFS question here, but I suspect this applies to
OpenAFS too and I dispair of getting anyone from IBM to do more and read
back the documentation to me.]
Config
Server:
Linux 2.2.16
Transarc AFS 3.6 patch 2 (base config afs3.6 2.18).
Clients:
Linux/SGI/NT
Transarc and OpenAFS
The Release notes for Transarc AFS 3.6 state
"AFS supports a maximum volume size of 8 GB"
This was causing me some inconvenience so before I started splitting my
data between multiple volumes, I thought I would try ignoring this
limitation. As far as I can tell, nothing bad is happening -- no errors,
no lost files. Here's the current status:
Volume Name Quota Used %Used Partition
dgg.catqp3.catqp3t1 no limit 9727449 0% 97%
So is there a limit? If this is, what is the limit and how does it
manifest itself?
Thanks.
