I'm not aware of any such problem in fdisk. What do you consider
"large" for this problem?
The eisa disk controler built into the ultra 5 and 10 has some
problems with disks larger than 120 GB, but that is a hardware issue.
(Turning off DMA may be a workaround.) Some solaris versions could
not handle eisa disks larger than 32 GB.
Blame the people who "designed" isa for these problems. SCSI
supported multi-terabyte disks when the larges made was 300MB.
ISA keeps having to change as the largest disk supported grows.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
