I am using OpenAFS For Windows 1.7.x on a computer that has an excess of 
disk space.

>From past experience with Linux, bigger cache generally equals better AFS 
performance
for the type of work I do.   On some of our larger multiuser Linux 
servers, we have the size
set to 16G and it works just fine.

I have tried setting the cache to a rather large size and noticed that the 
AFS Client code 
will not start until I reduce the size.

Can someone tell me what the maximum supported cache size for the Windows 
OpenAFS
Client.
