iirc you will setup a new backupserver (x86), start with 15TB and grow
about 50TB.
really x86 and not x86_64 ?
What's it matter?
even your filesystem of choice xfs can *not* handle > 16TB on x86.

Re: mount failed after xfs_growfs beyond 16 TB
/ a colleague recently tried to grow a 16 TB filesystem (x86, 32bit) on/
/ top of lvm2 to 17TB. (I am not even sure if that's supposed work with/
/ linux-2.6, 32bit)/
Not supported - any metadata access past 16TB will wrap the 32 bit page
cache
index for the metadata address space and you'll corrupt the filesystem.

That sounds pretty serious; if I was running 64-bit, I wouldn't have the
option of using Knoppix or one of my 32-bit systems for recovery.
ext3 is fully compatible, it does not matter whether one chooses 32-bit
or 64-bit Linux, and so my question above, "What's it matter?"
