Actualy, v1 does support systems above 1 TB (or it should, assuming we=20
don't have sign errors).

The issue is that you can only support 2^31 fragments. So 1 TB is only the=

limit for a 512-byte-frag FFS. If you say went with a 32k/4k file system,=

you could get to 8 TB.

FFSv2 is a good recommendation; we should just recommend it for the right=

reason. :-)

Take care,
