I am trying to create a 10TB (approx) ext3 filesystem. I am able to

mkfs.ext3, I get an error stating there is an 8TB limit for ext3
filesystems.
If ext3 isn't an option, has anyone used the kmod-xfs-smp.i686 module
mentioned on the centos site? Surely it doesn't have an 8TB limit...
You'll have all sorts of troubles with Ext3 once you step deeper into
the TB zone.
Just use XFS. That's what we did, works fine for us. And it's typically
faster when the files are very large (especially delete is very fast).
No other filesystem will be as reliable as Ext3 if the machine suddenly
loses power, but if you have a battery backup or something like that,
you should be fine with non-Ext3 filesystems.
