The problem is that SysV didn't bump off_t to 64-bit.  That limits you
to 2GB files.  BSD bit the bullet and fixed that problem long ago.  IIRC
the limits of UFS1 are 1TB per file system with 512k blocks (2^31 *
512k) due to use of a signed value in some places.  The file system
limit should be close to 1TB.
