Issue

When trying to increase volume, an error appears that the volume size is greater than the maximum size (100TB):
Select-1::> vol show <volume>
Vserver   Volume       Aggregate    State      Type Size      Available  Used%
--------- ------------ ------------ ---------- ---- ---------- ---------- -----
<vserver> <volume>     <aggregate>
                                    online     RW   100TB      1TB        99%
 
Select-1::> vol size -vserver <vserver> -volume <volume> -new-size +1t
vol size: Error setting size of volume "<vserver>:<volume>". Unable to set volume attribute "size" for
volume "<volume>" on Vserver "<vserver>". Reason: Request to grow volume '<volume>' failed because the
resulting volume size is greater than the maximum size.
