Why do you say that?  I've been testing with 60TB or larger filesystems
all week ;-).  Note that we can use more than a single block device
and/or remote storage target to store data, so block device limits are
not applicable to us, although 16TB files are a limit we will hit soon.

Cheers, Andreas
