It's a limit for some partition types, but not a limit on physical drive size. The worst case is that you may have to use multiple partitions on the same physical unit.... As I understand it, most 7 boxes can handle physical drives up to something outrageous like 256 TB. I sub-partition drives routinely as it makes it somewhat easier for me to organize the system. I've never had any kind of issue with this at all. The partition reservation thing may be a limit in the JBOD box firmware or the indexing routines, neither of which I have any experience with. R.
