No, although be sure you've built INN with large file support if you're
using cycbuffs larger than 2GB, and be aware that >2GB raw devices often
don't work.

No. The main limit you'll run into here is the maximum number of open
file descriptors.

That usually implies that your CNFS cycbuff size has changed since it was
initialized, although I don't know what would cause that.
