Attached is a patch that bring this up to date..  This was written back
when we were using UFS1 w/ 32bit block addresses...  Things have changes
now that UFS2 is standard...

The big thing is listing the memory requirements for fsck as the main
limiting factor on FS size...

I've had Kirk review the patch, and he's fine w/ it...

Shall I just commit it?

Thanks for the review.
