While I can't confirm the veracity of the statement, a google search
turned up this bit of information.....
Large file system
The ext4 filesystem can support volumes with sizes up to 1 exabyte
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exabyte>^[8]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4#cite_note-7> and files with sizes
up to 16 terabytes. The current filesystem creation tools can only
create a filesystem of 16TB. No information has been provided as to
when this limitation will be removed.
