We've tested XFS on a petabyte, on Altix - thats a modified version
of Redhat (most Redhat versions that have XFS are modified versions)
and its a 64 bit machine - very important to get past the small TB
numbers.  The theoretical maximum for a 64 bit box is some number
of exabytes (can't remember off the top of my head), or something
ridiculous like that.

But for 32 bit machines, I'd test extensively before going past the
1 or 2 TB range, as others have said.

cheers.
