Someone has been trying to tell me that we can't use more than about 2Gb
of a single disk drive.  I think that this is false, but I need to make
a purchase recommendation in the next couple of hours, and have no
personal experience to confirm or deny this.  I would love to hear
from someone using 4Gb and larger drives, and whether you can have
single slices and filesystems which are 4Gb and larger.  TIA!
