Yes, without patches 2TB is max for 1.4.7.

What file system type on Solaris? I suspect ufs.

That could be a Solaris specific behaviour. I would test with
zfs+namei or if that not works with ufs+namei and hope the problem
goes away.

Probably. Convert your world to namei and get rid of the special fsck.
Namei type partitions can run the OS supplied file system utilities.
