Your 'magic' number shows up in the limitations of NetServer. I think the
"- 1" should be megabytes. Link is
<http://www-912.ibm.com/s_dir/slkbase.nsf/1ac66549a21402188625680b0002037e/5fa7b1f6c3e3a7df86256922006b876c>

But, then, what in hte world do those 'amount of storage' and '1 TB'
maximum capacities mean?

Netserver File Size limit

Document Description
The file size limit for the AS/400 Netserver for Windows is:

ReleaseSize Limit
R4504 Gigabyte -1
R4404 Gigabyte -1
R430 and earlier2 Gigabyte -1

Note that this size may be lower then the actual OS/400 file system limit.
Refer to the support document, AS/400 Maximum Capacities, for further
information on file system capacities.

If a Windows networking user attempts to access a file that exceeds the
Netserver size limitation, the user sees a size of 4,193,280KB. The user
will not be able to open (read/write/copy) the file via Netserver.

Note: Windows NT and 9x support a maximum file size of 4Gb (64Gig for NT on
Alpha).
