David,

Is this the netatalk you are talking about or regular MacOS?  Because I have
a 13 Gig Firewire Drive connected to the box I am mounting the netatalk
share from and it sees all 13 gigs without problem, I also access other
Appleshare Drives on other servers (MacOS based) that are much larger than 2
gigs....
