>Description:
Since 32 bit couter only go as high as 4.2G, no filesys over
that size should be allowed. With today's disk size, users
will attempt to do just that. Either labeling or newfs should
catch it. 

Many unexpected/unpredictable error happen when using the fs
portion beyond a 32 bit counter can count.
