Hi,

Wow, there were no updates though after Eric's last comment..
Eric, have there been any improvements in the past 6 months?

Or should one still steer clear from EXT4 > 16TB?

There is still no released e2fsprogs which supports > 16T for
ext4, but testing of the not-released bits is welcomed...
Ted says a 16T-capable version is coming soon.  There's still
work to be done there, though.

Thanks Eric for confirming.

With 7 x 3TB HDD its now possible to breach 16TB (16.38TB) in RAID-5 so I
suppose more people may start asking about this.
