I haven't looked myself, but at OLS last week, Andreas Dilger 
was talking about block/ext2/ext3-type limits, and the number
I remember is 16 TB.  I presume that's actually 2^(31+9),
that is, a signed count of sectors.  I don't recall whether 
xfs/jfs/reiserfs presented a different limit, or whether 16 TB
was only for post-2.4 kernels.
