UFS filesystem size limit

For reference, I'm using:

# uname -sv
DragonFly DragonFly 1.3-Preview #0: Fri Jul  8 14:09:49 CEST 2005
 root at xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC 

I have created a vinum partition that is 1.12 terabytes. As some of
you may expect, /sbin/newfs is not happy with this size (# sectors in
partition > max value for a signed 32 bit integer).

Is there any current way to get a filesystem past the terabyte limit?
