1.7.10, OpenAFS (on Windows 7 x64) appears to<br>have lost the ability to w=
rite to large volumes. with 1.7.10 Windows thinks<br>such volumes are full =
and doesn't even try to write anything. the property<br>dialog shows all av=
ailable space as used.<br><br>OTOH, with 1.7.4 it thinks such volumes are e=
mpty, with the property dialog<br>showing it all as unused, and can then wr=
ite just fine.<br><br>oddly enough, fs diskfree says the same thing for bot=
