Are we likely to see patches to allow 16TB ext3 in the mainstream

I think the patches are going into -mm (if not already), so start testing...
If not, they have been posted here several times, along with a URL for
download.
I don't get it: I thought ext2/3 filesystems (volumes) can be 32TiB in
size? At least that's what [0] says. If this is wrong, someone should
correct this information. Although I must admit that 16 TiB per fs makes
more sense, given that with a max blocksize of 4K and a max of 2^32
blocks we have 16TiB of data.... Where does this 2^32 limitation come
from anyway?
Thanks,
Christian.

Due to Federal Budget problems we have been forced to cut back on the number of users able to access the system at one time. (namely none allowed....)
