Can someone say what would be maximum possible size of an AFS volume ? Are there any limits imposed by AFS, or are the limits filesystem/partition dependent ? To be more specific, I am talking about a volume of up to 1 Tb (1000 Gb).
Biggest volume we have right now is ~3TB. I wouldn't recommend going much more than 1TB, though. Bigger you go, longer it will take to do certain operations, like vos move. This volume in particular is slated to be split into smaller volumes in the not-so-distant future (the data doesn't easily lend itself to that without having mountpoints in weird places, for example, hg18 [human genome] is itself 2.2TB).
As Derrick mentioned, quotas only work up to 2TB. Any more than that and you will have to disable the quota for the volume by setting it to 0.
Also, certain tools may report odd numbers when you go beyond 2TB, mostly reporting large negative values - though this might be fixed in new enough versions, I can never keep track of this stuff.
