Thanks for the followups.  I worked around this by finding ~2TB I could split off into a separate volume, and now both the new volume and the remaining  (no-quota) ~4TB will replicate successfully.  
The volume size numbers are still, wrong but we've always lived with that.

As far as I can tell, nothing would change in this regard in 1.8.x.   However, that should be plenty to move 6TB at 800-1400 bytes per packet.

    Sorry for the error in my mental math - I read 6TB, but was thinking 6GB.  So of course 2^32 packets is not "plenty" enough for your volume, as Jeffrey correctly pointed out in his earlier reply.  Unfortunately I didn't see his reply until much later, so I apologize for the confusion.
