Be aware of limitations of other filesystems for example such as Professional Filesystem (PFS) which can only address a hard disk < 127GB.

Nonsense, PFS3 is working fine with partition over 127GB limit. PFS3 limits the maximum partition size to ~100GB though.

However, some device drivers cannot access IDE HDD beyond 137GB limit (0xfffffff sectors, 512 bytes per sector == 128GiB). This has nothing to do with filesystem though, but LBA48 addressing. If the scsi.device (or whatever device you use) doesn't handle LBA48, there is no way to access > 137GB (128GiB) area.
