 Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has tried to customize the (fake) size 
 reported by 'df', and specifically if anyone has looked into how hard it 
 might be to make that configurable per-client, with something like a 
 root-only
 'fs setdfsize' ?

 We occasionally run into problems with the 900 k value when some tool 
 wants to start dumping 10GB into AFS and decides to check first.

I've got a similiar problem here. For MacOSX, I've to compile AFS myself -
changing the free-space-constant before that. Otherwise, our beloved
Finder refuses to copy largish data sets (which I have to move around a
lot) into AFS.

However, another fs subcommand might not be necessary - just increasing the
reported free space to 2TiB-1Block  should be sufficient since most volumes'
quota is considerably smaller than that.

Are there any programs known to break when reported free space is that high?

Regards,

Frank

MacOS reports 1TB free for a while now. If you're trying to copy more
than that in, well, let's just say I don't have a terabyte laying
around to play with.
