Or don't bother with a partition table at all, which makes growing the
filesystem later on quite a bit easier.

2TB is the largest for UFS2. 1TB is the largest for UFS1.
Is the 2TB limit that you mention only for x86? This file system comparison

All,
I have a project in which I have purchased the hardware to build a massive
file server (specifically for video). The array from all estimates will come
in at close to 5.8TB after overheard and formatting. Questions are:
What Version of BSD (5.3, 5.4, 4.X)?
What should the stripe size
