A bit off-topic, but did Sun do anything to address this limit? I can't
believe that Solaris has a limit of 4 GB per partition (isn't it actually
2 GB? 2^32 * 512 byte sector would give 2 GB). I am going to add a new
disk to a machine running Solaris 2.4 so I would like to know what the
limits are...
