The BSD filesystem itself can be 2^31 * file system fragment size.
Default seems to be 1k/8k filesystems, so we get 2^41 bytes of file system
size.

However, your partition table has to provide a partition big enough for this.

The maximum partition table size is 2^32 * disk block size. With the only
(currently) disk block size currently supported in NetBSD (512), you magically
get the same value of 2^41 bytes.

Thats 2048 GBytes, or 2199 Marketing-Gigabytes.
