In the man page? I also have 128T as the reported size, but I'm guessing
that's because some kernel structures live at the end of the address
space and this is a 64-bit kernel. See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64#Linux (Intel x86_64 actually goes up
to 256T but Linux only supports 128T. I think I can live with that :-)
