Perhaps I'm just extremely lucky, but I've not run into this magic 1TB barrier that I see bandied about here. Heck, if you're willing to roll the dice on Hitachi drives, you can get a terabyte these days with just 2 hard disks in the array with RAID0 or 3 disks with RAID5. Unfortunately, a lot of the documentation and FAQs are quite out of date which can lead to some confusion.

Grrrrrrrrrrr, 1 of my *long time* complaints w/ Linux (any Linux, apparently) is that nobody bothers to keep man-pages/FAQS/other-documentation up to date. The cron(8) on my SuSE 9.2 P4 is dated 1996 (!!!). I lay this at the feet of the distro folks myself, but none of them have taken it up :-) ....
