Was it me (houkouonchi) on hard forum? I asked if > 16 TiB support was considered stable on here a while back: Is >16TB support considered stable? This was 6 months ago so maybe things have changed. The thread: http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-ext4/2010/5/28/6884603/thread Luckily JFS fixed there userland utilities bug of not being able to handle > 32TiB very shortly after this and I ended up going that route and I have yet to have any data loss or problems on my JFS volume: root@dekabutsu: 08:32 AM :~# df -H /data Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdd1 36T 22T 15T 61% /data root@dekabutsu: 08:32 AM :~# At work with our hundreds/thousands of servers we will likely be going ext4 as we wont be using it on >16 TiB. I think its a huge improvement over ext3 but for my use JFS ended up being a better fit. I refuse/refused to go XFS.
