Couldn't you just use NFS to bypass the 1TB restrictions? So when
the main filesystem gets full, it spills over into nearby servers using the
identical file system setup connected via fiber for top speed. This would
technically only limit your system space based on how many servers you
could efficiently attach to the same array. So if you could attach say 10
of these servers efficiently, then you could technically have a 10TB array.
