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.
Peter.
