2Tb should still work. And to get to the 16 TB limit you'd have to recompile with PAE. It costs some (rather limited) RAM overhead and some fork() overhead. I think ext2/ext3fs's current 2Tb/4Tb limit is a much bigger problem, you cannot compile around that - are there any patches in fact that lift that limit? (well, one solution is to use another filesystem.)
