Yes. The 2TB limitation so many are used to applies more to the tools than the UFS2 file system itself. UFS2 has a max volume size of 2^73, or 8 Zeta-Bytes. If you utilize the old Dos MBR scheme with old fdisk and disklabel tools you will still face the 2TB volume limit. Use Gpart, Glabel, and GPT partitioning instead. A quick and short example: http://www.mebsd.com/configure-freebsd-servers/big-partitions-in-freebsd-bigger-than-2tb.html However, fsck'ing such large volumes will take considerable time if such a thing needs doing. There is the new "Soft-update plus Journaling" coming along with the advent of 9.x, which is supposed to ameliorate this. Not completely sold on it yet, as I don't have enough knowledge/experience yet. Some may say "it's not just quite ready for prime time yet", but I don't really know definitively myself.
