I don't see this problem on my FC1 installs:
[bevan at saladin ~]> df -h .
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
home:/vol/home        1.2T  1.1T  125G  90% /mnt/fulcrum/home
[bevan at saladin net]> df -h .
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
netscratch:/home/mnt  1.2T 1001G  200G  84% /mnt/fulcrum/scratch1
[bevan at saladin net2]> df -h .
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
scratchnet:/home/net  1.4T  1.1T  282G  80% /mnt/fulcrum/scratch2

Unless it works with 1.4T and fails with 1.9T, which seems unlikely.
