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.
