You're talking about a single filesystem of 16TB? Well, depending on how you plan to use it, that might work. It will probably take several GB of memory to fsck such a monster. You can use zfs, which will need several GB of memory all of the time, but was designed to handle such terrible big things. FreeBSD also recently (in the last decade) added SU+J (q.v. http://jeffr-tech.livejournal.com/22716.html ) which may work for such a horrible large thing. -- --
