Well, I've seen that read earlier, but well it talks a lot about the 
limits of UFS1 and FBSD 4 - which are by far too low. Plans here were 
something about 10 TB as a first step. Due to the nature of data and how 
they are accessed it's not really simple to split them up into different 
filesystems, as it's not easy to predict which parts grow most.


Well, would a 10 TB fs work out of the Box with 5.2?
