You have to work around that. I actually have 2 different sized disks
in my setup at home. I believe I tricked vchanger by changing the # of
volumes when I added the larger disk. So my smaller disk has something
like 25 5GB volumes when the larger disk has 50 5GB volumes

One thing you can do is divide your 2TB in half making 2 filesystems
on the disk and have 1 magazine for each filesystem. I am pretty sure
the autofs mounting can be by uuid so I believe that would work.
