That's monstrous. No, what I've read is that you want to use it when you
need to go over 16TB. I've seen a lot of comments, and I think one or two
in code that I googled, for ext4 that says "really need to fix this to
handle > 16TB"... and I start seeing it around '09 or '10, and it's
generally documented, I believe, that this is still the case. (And you
*don't* want to do an fsck on a multi-TB filesystem that people need to
use that day, or the next....)

No data.
