Subject: ext4 file system size limit

Hi lkml,

(please cc as not subscribed)

The ext4 documentation says the current file system size limit is
16TB. I currently have an fs of 6TB which is working fine, but I'm
planning to expand it.

Are there any known bugs with large file systems, or is it safe for me
to proceed and extent the fs? (up to 16TB)

Regards,
// Mathias
