The problem is that SysV didn't bump off_t to 64-bit. That limits you
to 2GB files. BSD bit the bullet and fixed that problem long ago. IIRC
the limits of UFS1 are 1TB per file system with 512k blocks (2^31 *
512k) due to use of a signed value in some places. The file system
limit should be close to 1TB.
