A 128Tb single filesystem ontop a 160 drives RAID60! Even
better, one made of 10x 14+2 RAID6 components.

It shows a dedication to "if it is possible it must make sense"
logic and an admirable faith in luck.

Perhaps a small discrepancy in size units is not the most
interesting aspect of this query.
