SUMMARY: Max ufs filesys size on 2.5.1?

True to the intent of this list, David Schiffrin <daves@adnc.com>
responded very quickly with the the answer and the solution. Casper Dik
<casper@holland.Sun.COM> also correctly diagnosed the problem (as he
usually does, thank you for paying such regular attention to this list,
Casper!).

Due to a bug (Sun #1264428), Ultra1's can't use a 4096 block size. And
when I let the system use the 8192 default, everything actually worked.

Others (thanks folks, and my apologies if I missed anyone) reported that
they had successfully setup larger than 2G filesystems, and so there should
be an answer:

Mike Blandford <mikey@nmsu.edu>
Peter Keating <pkeating@mits.com.au>
Chris Marble <cmarble@orion.ac.hmc.edu>
Leo Cazares <cazares@toolik.Stanford.edu>
Michael Kasperek <mak16@chrysler.com>
Torsten Huebler <torsten@mail.sachsenlb.de>
