Oops, sorry, missed your other question. My "df -h" output is:
/dev/sdc1 1.1T 166G 862G 17% /export/home
/dev/sdd1 1.1T 852G 175G 83% /export/data
They're mirrors, so smaller than yours... but if you can get to 1.1 TB, why not
at least 1.9? The 1008 GB number seems a really weird place for it to stop.
Cheers,
Martin
