Hello world,

	We plan to be getting several multi-gigabyte drives in the near future
and this has raised some questions:

		1) is there a limit (system imposed) to the size of a filesystem

		2) if so, what is the limit

	The system that these drives are going into is a dual universe
BSD/SysV. We are running in the BSD env. w/ SysV extras added via PATH.

	Any help will be appreciated.
