Problem running out of space by copying files to identical filesystems

I am trying to copy a filesystem from one server to another using rsync over the WAN. As far as I can tell, the two filesystems are identical but for some reason I cannot copy the last file because I keep running out of space.

SERVER 1:
mkfs -m <lvol>
mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=8192,version=4,inosize=256,logsize=256,largefiles /dev/vgprod/store15 2147188736
bdf <lvol>
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vgprod/store15
2147188736 2146853928 332200 100% /data/store15

SERVER 2:
mkfs -m <lvol>
mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=8192,version=4,inosize=256,logsize=256,largefiles /dev/vgprod/store15 2147188736
bdf <lvol>
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
/dev/vgprod/store15
2147188736 2113312464 33611672 98% /data/store15

All of the files are about 34GB each. The very last file is 34,346,224,640 bytes and, as you can see, I only have 33.6GB available so the copy fails on the very last file. Why do these files fit perfectly into SERVER 1 but not into SERVER 2 if the OS version is the same, the JFS version is the same and all of the parameters appear to be the same? There must be something I am missing but I cannot figure it out.

I have also checked that acctresume and acctsuspend are the same on both servers as well.

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
