I think it *theoretically* should work as ext3 should to 16TB. However, we ran into issues with userland tools and such. Possibly related to x86_64 vs i386 stuff, but in the end to avoid continued troubleshooting we just used centosplus + jfs. Works perfectly for our 10TB filesystem.
I'm curious what you store that you need 10TB of linear storage?
I have had 4-6-8TB storage systems, but the storage was always divvied up between different applications.

It's almost all Oracle database dump files... one database by itself is 4.5TB! Don't ask me what's in these things... :)
Ah, should have figured it was for backup.
4.5TB, wow, sounds like financial forecasting or geographic survey data...
