Okay, here is the break down of what hard drive capacities SCSI-based Macs can handle:
HFS (aka Mac OS Standard) can accept up to 2GB partitions per volume. This means that for a 10GB hard drive, it would need to be divided into 2GB chunks or 5 partitions of 2 gigabytes size. HFS was introduced with System Software version 2.1 and is supported all the way through to OSX Leopard (10.5.x).
HFS+ (aka Mac OS Extended) can accept up to 8 Exabytes (EB), but early model Macs limit the first partition to 8GB. After that, you can set the second or more partitions to as large as you want. HFS+ was introduced in Mac OS version 8.1 and is supported through OSX Leopard (10.5.x). Snow Leopard (10.6) supports HFS+ in read only mode but no writing to HFS+ partitions.
