[OpenAFS] 'no space left on device' while importing

[Matthew Turk]

Hi there.  After taking everyone's suggestions carefully into
consideration, I devised a volume system layout that I think works quite
nicely for our overall system design.  However, now I'm having trouble
importing our existing filesystems.

I've started making an infrastructure of user volumes; for the file system
importing stage, I've set the quotas to 0/'no limit.'

Whenever I try to scp files over directly to the server with the afs
volume, and into the mountpoint for that volume, it copies for a few
(coincidentally -- or not? -- up to the size of the cache) and then throws
"no space left on device" for the current file, and the rest fail because
of "input/output error."  If I just place those files in the mountpoint on
my afs file system, it copies up to the size of hte two caches combined
and throws the same set of errors.

What am I doing wrong?  Are my caches not able to keep up for some reason?
This is all fairly new to me -- but I do know that if I don't get this set
up right, AFS may not be suitable for some of the tasks we intend to ask
of it.

Thanks for any help!
