[OpenAFS] AFS on MacOSX: Finder doesn't like big files

Hi,

when I try to copy a 16.2GB-file (I bet the magic limit is 16000000kB) from
a local disk into AFS, the finder fails with an "Out of space" error (I
don't know the exact error message in english - it's a german MacOSX 10.3).

Yes - I know, it's the finder's fault and the mail should better be sent to
complains@apple.com. But is there any chance to solve the problem - i.e. by
increasing the fake free-space value of /afs ? BTW: Why is this fake-value
16GB only and not i.e. 2048GB?

Regards,

Frank
