If he starts with u2 and his hard drive (or RAID array) has a 1K block
size, the limit will be 1T (1024*1024*1K = 1T). 1T was the limit for me
at RHEL3/ESu2 even though physically my array has about 70G beyond that
limit:

     # fdisk -l /dev/i2o/hdb
     
     Disk /dev/i2o/hdb: 1174.5 GB 1174522560512 bytes
     255 heads 63 sectors/track, 142794 cylinders
     Units - cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
     
            Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
     /dev/i2o/hdb1               1      133674  1073736373+  83  Linux
