The target server is reporting that it is attempting to read 8K from the
incoming rx_call but received 0 bytes.  The "File exists" is a red
herring because 'errno' is not set by rx.

You need to look at the source server to determine why the call ended.

Have you moved this volume in the past?  I ask because an 8.7TB volume
exceeds the maximum safe volume size in OpenAFS (2TB - 1) by quite a
bit.  Values such as disk usage, file count, and others are signed
32-bit integers that can overflow.  While the volume remains in place
OpenAFS servers will happily serve the data but it is possible that the
volume can no longer be represented by the dump format and that the
salvager can no longer reference all of the vnodes that are present in
the volume.
