It is based off total free space per filesystem on 32-bit systems.  The 
type used to store the free space is variable depending on the system, 
which leads to problems when any individual filesystem's free space 
exceeds 2TB, and flip-flops in 2TB increments.  You can record properly 
if you have 4-6TB or 8-10TB free, but 2-4TB or 6-8TB free causes false 
positives in the auto-expirer.

No.

As long as you're not recording to a striped array on a 32-bit system, 
it should not affect you.
