I've seen you mention that 1TB limit. Could you please post some references to it? I'm now familiar with limits at 2TB (gpt), 4TB (ext3), 16TB (ext2) but you're the only person talking about a 1TB barrier.
You'll find that a lot with Bryan that he makes up his own terms or puts his opinion down as facts.
But seriously - 1TB is just a good round number. Unlike the US tax code that always keeps you guessing, saying "No more than 1TB for ext3" is a quick and easy rule - and considering the fsck times you can get with a whole lot of small files 1TB is a good number.
To sum it up, 1TB is no software limit but rather a number Bryan, me and a whole bunch of others (just search google) see as the maximum filesystem size they feel comfortable with.
