Aside from this, carving a storage system into 16TB chunks is a
terrible
thing to do to a large file system capable unit. ext4 (if you follow
the previous link) still really doesn't do 16TB+ stably. Things
break.
It will eventually get there, but its not there now. xfs has been
doing large file systems for more than a decade.
Well said. And someday, btrfs will be a worthy option as well.
There is this brand spanking new btrfsck ! Though there are the
occasional "OMG IT ATE MY FILE SYSTEM" posts to the list, which ...
while helpful to the devs, won't inspire confidence yet ...
... but it will get there.
