Growing a FS over 1T - can it be done ?

Greeting Forumers!

I've been asked to increase space in a FS that is currently 740G in size:
Code:
Filesystem             size   used  avail capacity  Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d664       740G   424G   308G    58%    /ora_back

My SAN administrator has allocated 5 LUNs of 200G each - this will make the total 1.7TB.

I know I can add the LUNs with 'metattach' but can I use 'growfs' to increase the FS size larger than 1 TB ? Are there any gotchas with growing a FS over 1TB that was not created with 1TB parameters?

I am running Solaris 10 8/07 on a v490 with kernel patch 141444-09 (latest).

Thanks in Advance!!
