There is probably no limit except the limitations of your hardware at
this time.  As far as it automatically incorporating other hard
drives, that is probably more of a function of your operating system.
Example if you put your tabelspace on a system where the filesystem
spans multiple drives, it will grow till you run out of space.  This I
would say is based on your filesystem design.
