We have Lustre filesystems in the 100TB range right now. We don't exceed the 2TB block device/filesystem limits, but rather combine multiple filesystems to provide a large virtual volume over the network. This means Lustre will work just fine with 2.4 kernels also. Mind you, some of our customers have > 2TB NFS filesystems already, but I don't think they are served by Linux (NetApps or something). Since NFS doesn't have a block device it isn't limited by the 2TB size.
