1TB seems incredibly small these days as a file system limit - as Jesper
says. If you're on a disk partition system with 1TB file limits (let alone
for the whole file system!), you should consider upgrading your disk array
and file system to a modern partition scheme, of which there are many
choices on Linux/Unix type systems.
