No, actually the filesystem is limited to 1 terabyte. The Solaris 2.x bundled features allow up to 1 terabyte file systems, but do not allow a file system to span partitions or disks.
Note that in Solaris 2.6, the swap and tmpfs file system are still limited to 2 GB. Also note that the root file system is limited to ~2 GB on all but Ultras due to an OBP limitation (~1 GB on systems with OBP versions 1.0->2.6).
For additional information concerning partition and filesize limits within particular versions of the OS, reference infodoc 15933.
DiskSuite/Veritas Volume manager solves this problem, and allows file systems to *grow* and use additional disks/partitions up to 1 Terabyte. Actually, file system size up to 2**64 bytes are allowed.
