Maximum filesystem size is 2 gigablocks, maximum file size is 1
gigablock. With the standard 8K block size, this means you can have a
filesystem 16TB big, and a file 8TB big.

Either the 2 gigablock limit is for filesystems or partitions, I can't
quite remember which one it is... no matter, it's damn big is all that
matters! I'm certain about the file size limitation.
