I should say that I STRONGLY recommend not creating ext3 file systems in the 2TB+ range
I consider that FUD. We have many ext3 filesystems >2T and the run ok. Sure we do disable automatic fsck on reboot but we schedule a manual fsck when we get the opportunity. IMHO automatic fsck on reboot after, say, 30 boots is a pure desktop/laptop thing. When you have servers that stay up you'll have to plan for fsck anyway.
As Joshua wrote, there is no filesystem more supported and tried on CentOS...

- fsck takes too long and you'd hate to get hit by one of
those in what is supposed to be a "quick" reboot...and disabling them on the file system isn't a good idea either.
