I find this hard to believe as well - Walnut Creek have been using a 9G drive for Usenet for something like a year, so I'm told. (The reason why it didn't work in Jan 95 was probably because no-one had a disk that big to test it on!). In any case, it's always a good idea to put as many partitions (in the FreeBSD sense) as you can on a disk, as it reduces the potential for loss if anything goes wrong. (Don't forget your data is only as good as your last backup!)
