   Doh! Brain fart detected. That should be gigabytes listed for HFS's
max size. It's Linux's ext2fs that can deal with something like 2-8
terabytes (1 terabyte is 1024 gigabytes, or a shade over 1*10^12
bytes) on one device. [And THAT is very darn big!]

   Time to go make a quick change to the FAQ; sorry for giving anyone
false hopes about connecting a terabyte of storage to their GS and
wanting to use it all in one partition. :)
