I would under NO conditions make a EXT3 volume anywheres NEAR as big as you're talking about. my preference for large volumes is XFS.
Is there some rule of thumb for how much RAM the system should have for that?
I've been putting 24-48GB in my servers with large multiterabyte XFS volumes. so far, I haven't had any issues. Some of these systems have 74TiB file systems (81 TB), primarily used as long term retention archival nearline storage.
