A lot of people request that I cite various documentation on
this stuff.  I can't.  Occasionally I'll find a vendor's bug
report on various things, but outside of maybe Red Hat (who
has always come under a lot of fire for heavily patching the
kernel), a lot of vendors just blame things on the kernel
support and refuse to address it in their distros.

That's why I have only experience to go on.  And multi-TB
support is not something I put my faith in under Linux. 
Especially not when various geometry, structure and other
issues keep creeping up, have to have workaround for, only to
repeat themselves in various kernel/filesystem
implementations.
