I don't recall the absolute limit that I encountered, but the practical
limit is in the number of inodes you can create, I think it's either 
32767 or 65536. I split my 1 GB drive into a 40 MB TOSfs partition, and
three 330MB partitions. Any larger leaves you with too few inodes to
allocate file space.

(PS - I guess  this would be a good time to ask - is anyone working on a
BSD filesystem driver for MiNT?)
