The only limit is due to the HFS disk format.
As you go to bigger drives they use bigger block
sizes. HFS is limited to 65,536 blocks per volume.
(Just like FAT16 on a PC is limited to 65,636
clusters.)
You can partition really large drives to keep each
volume's block size down. 2 gig is really the largest
volume you want to use with HFS. Earlier versions
of HDSC will only let you make 1.9 or 2 gig volumes.
IIRC later versions allow bigger, but they waste
a lot of space unless you store only really large
files.
