The first step is to get the latest e2fsprogs from Git, which has alpha support for > 2^32 block filesystems, then port the lustre patches to same. If you specify the "force_over_16tb" mount option to ext4-based ldiskfs, then you can begin TESTING the support for > 16TB OSTs. We haven't yet begun testing this ourselves, so feedback is welcome. > Will Lustre support 32T or 64T LUNs any time soon? That's hard to say, but starting testing on it will definitely speed up the process.
