Sparse files on XFS using loopback will allow you to simulate
devices larger than 16TB easily. You can turtle it all the way down,
too, to create the xfs filesystem on a loopback device on a sparse
file on ext4....

Doing this sort of thing lets me know, for example, that the
mkfs.ext4 defaults fail on a 500TB device...

# xfs_io -f -c 'truncate 500t' /mnt/xfs/fs.img
# ls -lh /mnt/xfs
total 0
-rw------- 1 root root 500T Sep 19 12:41 fs.img
# mkfs.ext4 /mnt/xfs/fs.img
mke2fs 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
/mnt/xfs/fs.img: Cannot create filesystem with requested number of inodes while setting up superblock
#

Cheers,

Dave.
