You can easily change this by reducing the number of inodes created. If you specify "mke2fs -N 1 <dev>" you will get the minimum possible number of inodes created. There is currently a 16TB limit on ext2/3 filesystems, unless you are testing on a platform with 8kB+ PAGE_SIZE and have the e2fsprogs from the BK repository, in which case you can create 8kB blocks (for 32TB filesystems).
