I've never noticed a problem because creating a partition that large
makes the xfstests runs take a long, long time.  I typically use a 5
GB or 20GB partition.  Is there a particular reason why you are trying
to do test ext4 using a 1k blocksize for a 2T file system?  We can fix
mke2fs so it doesn't fail when you create a > 2T file system with a 1k
block size, but the bigger question in my mind is why anyone would
ever want to do that?
