Along with the previously mentioned volume space limits for the various
system versions, there seem to be additional limitations in AFP
(Appletalk Filing Protocol) for network volumes.

In my experience problems start to occur as a network volume
*approaches* 2Gb, such as disk full errors and free space being reported
as negative numbers (presumably some internal counter running over its
limit and turning negative).

The only workaround seems to be to partition the volume into smaller
pieces, say around the 1.7Gb range.
