We have finally completed upgrading all our fileservers (all > 2TB
partitions) to 1.6.1, dafs, with the mentioned patch. This seems to
mostly solve the 'Out of space' problem, but we can still generate it
sometimes (Windows 7 only, 1.7.11+ clients). Identifying what combination
of circumstances actually causes the problem has been like nailing jello
to a wall. I'll try to submit a bug report with what we think is going
on.
All the file servers now return the expected numbers - real or capped at
2^31 kB - to 'fs listvol', but sometimes the volume quota and usage
numbers shown in the Explorer add-on menus are wrong. The numbers aren't
necessarily wrong when Explorer says 'Out of space' though. We've also
caused Explorer to abort more than once while investigating this.
If I map a network drive rather than navigating the UNC path, explorer
will write to the location that complains by UNC path.
The file server upgrade was worth it anyway - 1.6.1 seems to impose a
lighter load on the server OS, even when hit hard with big volume moves.

have any other versions of the client to test other than the most

We have one volume on one partition that is 4TB. The approximate space
consumption so far is 1.5TB. If there's any debugging I can do to see
more about what the problem is, please let me know.
