Centos 5.1 documentation states that the supported ext3 filesystem limit is 16TB, yet I have a 9.5TB partition that is claimed to be too large:
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) mke2fs: Filesystem too large. No more than 2**31-1 blocks (8TB using a blocksize of 4k) are currently supported.
Am I missing something?

Did you tried with -j -b block-size Did you tired by specifying the blocks-count

You will want to look at this article from the Red Hat Knowledge Base:
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_103_11461.shtm
It should help.
