It's not there anymore, but I remember it used to be there and also
mention of maximum filesystem size. newfs(8) says:
FFS2 file systems can be as large as 64PB, Note however that for mount_mfs
the practical limit is based on datasize in login.conf(5) and ultimately
depends on the per-arch MAXDSIZ limit
Now somewhere else a couple years ago I remember maximum individual file
size being 8TB. Hmmm, maybe I should research this and submit a diff for
the web page
