MacOS has some problems with large volumes. However, the problem depends
on the model of the computer. Certain types of Macs running 7.5.2 or
later will support any size of a hard drive (up to several terabytes).
However, anything else has an upper limit that is more restrictive: 4GB.
Any MacOS system before 7.5 can only support 2GB.
Apple has several documents relating to this in the TIL:
