ESX 4.0 U1 Maximum file size ?

Hi,

Recently we like to mapping several LUNs to ESX 4.0U1 as we need a VMFS(extened) about 40TB~60TB.

What is the maximum file size/limitation for ESX 4.0U1. How about to bind a big metaLUN about 40TB~60TB and map to ESX?

Thanks!

VMFS3 has a limit of 64TB but why would you want to present a LUN that big to ESX ?  How many VMs are you going to put on this LUN ?
