We just ran into a limit on Interactive Unix and I would like to know
what these limits on Linux, FreeBSD and NetBSD for Intel Systems are:

Max number of I nodes per file system (unsigned int on Interactive)
Max Size of any one file system (about 2000 Meg on Interactive)
Max number of disks On the system
Max hardware size (SCSI) of any one disk.

Thanks
