Thanks for confirming the first part of my request.
What is the behavior of AFS when it comes to enforcing the limits?
For example, will AFS prevent a file from being copied to a volume if
that particular file's size causes the size limit to exceed 8 GB?
If AFS allows copying to occur, what would be the side effects?
Or, is volume limit just a recommendation and not a hard limitation?
Thanks,
Kangesh
