! ! 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

! ! It's certainly not related to what your dbservers are running. This is a

! ! <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)

! ! patch will be going in 1.6.3.

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

We applied the above patch, but are still seeing the same issue when performing
a 'vos dump' on a volume, a 'vos listvol' shows the volume as not being
able to be attached as opposed to the old expected behavior of being
busy.

Thanks.
