only nominally; in reality, the FFS _still_ can't deal with that much,
because of hard coded uses of 32 bits as "block numbers."

so, in reality, you've only got 4G blocks...  which, assuming 512 byte
blocks (bad assumption; that's DEV_BSIZE, not FS block size, but
it's a nice absolute lower bound), you've got 2Tb.

That's still at least a year or two away from fitting in a 3.5" form
factor.  8-)
