DiskFail: Value too large for defined data type

Until I get an answer from support, maybe someone here knows....

Is there such a thing as a file system too large for the backing store? With the store on a 2.9 TB partition, I get the following error:

[Tue May 6 14:29:50 2008] iwts master DiskFail /store/temp/default statvfs failed on /store/temp/default (Value too large for defined data type)

With the store on a more "modest" partition, I get no errors. Anyone know what the limit is?

After more research, this is probably a 2^32 issue. The total number of blocks on our filesystem is: 5528735715

This exceeds the magical 32 bit number of: 4294967296

Through the magic of quotas, we have created a workaround:

% zfs set quota=1t z2/store
