Well, it works (you can play by yourself with loopback just for fun
with a test file!!!).

But, I dunno about RAM request if you are in trouble and need to run
fsck or repair. Also about the RAM requested to have all extents
mapped.
You could be in sad situation to not be able to mount it.
Also, better if you can update the kernel whenever you want, and you
don't have third party constraints.

In my experience (max 200TB volume), I use BTRFS for big volumes, but
they need more extra care than the usual EXT4/XFS.
