The problem might be that it's just a little bit over the 2GB limitation. Apple sez: "With versions of the Macintosh operating system previous to System 7.5 we recommend making the volume sizes slightly less than 2 GB to ensure that you do not run into any limitations. This means that if you have a hard disk drive with a formatted capacity larger than the 2 GB, you must partition it into multiple volumes smaller than 2 GB. We have found that a partition size ****at least 1 MB smaller than 2 GB*** seems to work acceptably. This is a hard limitation. There are no workarounds other than partitioning the drive into multiple volumes or updating your computer and any client computers that may log on to the volume to System 7.5.x or newer."
