"I am going to be attacking this tonight and my efforts will be primarily
focused on creating one large 5.8TB slice..wish me luck!!" 
 
How did this go?  Were you able to create the very large slice?

2TB is the largest for UFS2. 1TB is the largest for UFS1.

Is the 2TB limit that you mention only for x86?  This file system comparison
lists the maximum size to be much larger
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems ).
