Experiences with multi-Terabyte filesystems

Hello!

A client of mine is faced with the necessity to buy a renewed, larger
SamFS license. They are currently approaching 4 TB. But they don't like
the price ;-)

Because they would like to have all this on disk, they believe a that a
large RAID would serve them better. Leaving things like backup aside, a
single filesystem of this size sounds problematic with today's
technology.

So I would like to ask for your experiences with filesystems larger than
4 TB.

Thank you,
Lupe Christoph
