I just noticed from man 8 bsdlabel:
COMPATIBILITY
Due to the use of an u_int32_t to store the number of sectors, BSD labels
are restricted to a maximum of 2^32-1 sectors. This usually means 2TB of
disk space. Larger disks should be partitioned using another method such
as gpt(8).
I suspect this applies to amd64. man 8 fdisk makes no
mention of data size problems, but I would suspect it as
well.
