To quote from one of Leland's posts to Linux-atalk:
This used to be in the FAQ. (or at least one of the FAQs)
AFP 2.1 has a maximum volume size of 2^32 or 4 Gigs.
The Finder shipped with Systems prior to 7.5 could only handle 2 Gig
volumes,
so most AFP servers clip the free & total bytes to 2 Gigs.
Systems 7.5 to 7.6 can handle 4 Gig volumes
System 7.6 and later can handle larger volumes.
AFP 2.2 has a maximum volume size of 2^64 or some godawful large number
of Terabytes.
AppleShare Client 3.7.2 and later will handle large volumes on System 7.6
and
later, though full support is only present on OS 8.1. (the VCB was
correct but
some of the API calls didn't return the large values).
Hope this helps
