[opensuse] Can't write to NFS share after growing it to 15TBytes.

Dear list members

I have an NFS server (SuSE 10.1) exporting a 15T filesystem. On the NFS server itself the filesystem appears to work correctly for read and write access. On the NFS client machines (e.g. SuSE 10.0) however only read access to the NFS share seems to work, while writing to the NFS server always fails, reporting that there would be no space left on the device:

epp michael/test> df -h | grep exppraid
exppraid:/export/raid
15T 4.8T 10T 33% /exppraid
epp michael/test> pwd
/exppraid/michael/test
epp michael/test> cp /boot/vmlinux-2.6.13-15.18-smp.gz .
cp: closing `./vmlinux-2.6.13-15.18-smp.gz': No space left on device
epp michael/test> ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 michael epp 0 2008-11-18 12:02 vmlinux-2.6.13-15.18-smp.gz

The filesystem that I am exporting on the NFS is a logical volume. We just increased the size of this filesystem from 5.5TB to 15TB. The 5.5TB filesystem did not exhibit this problem while the 15T filesystem never allowed for NFS writes. We did not change any other configuration of server or client, which indicates that the issue is indeed related to the size of the filesystem exported via nfs. We also use mac os x NFS clients (os version 10.4 server), which exhibit the exact same problem when accessing the SuSE 10.1 NFS server. More detail on the configuration of the SuSE server and client can be found in the end of this e-mail.

Any idea what could cause this problem and how it can be solved? What should be done to further diagnose this issue?

Best regards,
Michael Marti.
