! You can have volumes larger than 2TB with 1.4 fileservers (maybe not
! 1.4.5, though). I didn't think the 1.6 series changed anything with
! volume size or quota limitations.

We were of the understanding that there was a 2TB limit on partitions
with 1.4.x which is not the case in 1.6.x.

! It's certainly not related to what your dbservers are running. This is a
! bug, probably issue 131505, probably fixed by
! <http://gerrit.openafs.org/#change,9499>. If you are in a position to
! try a patch on a "testing" fileserver and see if that fixes it, try
! applying the patch in that gerrit submission, which is here:
! <http://git.openafs.org/?p=openafs.git;a=patch;h=e456f85887841f50a828daea54fd2efb7d33fd07>.
! 
! If you're not in a position to be applying patches, I (or someone)
! should be able to reproduce that and try it ourselves. I assumed that
! patch will be going in 1.6.3.

We will attempt to apply the above patch and will report back our
findings.  

Thanks.
