Not sure which are supposed to be safe, all you can do is ask around
as to what hardware/software folks are successfully using with 2.4
for filesystems greater than 1Tbyte.

As you can see from Christoph's answer, 2.6 with the large block
device option is the preferred option.

With the large block patch you can get them over 2TB with the 2.4
kernel. We are testing the 2.6 kernel because of read-starvation
issues.
