I took a harder look at this problem.  Fixing this limit to go beyond
4TB could be done w/o creating a new RPC call.  Since the most
significant bit of the tape size field isn't used one could use this to
indicate that size field (on tape) has a multiplier other than 1, like
1k or 1M for instance.

Is there really a need to specify a tape size to the byte?
