256TB (2^48) should be good enough till 2020.
it is for a lot of records (data-sets) to held in memory instead
of approaching the disk every time that data is requested.
the use-case is primarily for financial system, but, will also
hold 'gis' data going forward.
the owner of the system isn't rich enough to afford an 'ibm'
mainframe, hence a unix based system written in c89 under openbsd.
i am just the adviser/consultant. :)
