Speaking of filesystems, does anyone know about works done on very
large (disk) filesystems?  By "large", I'm talking in the range of
100GB - 5TB.

I know that FFS will have some problems once we go over about 200GB
(multi-hour fsck being one).  But all we can find are studies on
tape-based systems (how to migrate stuff to/from disk, etc.)...

Thanks
