If ext3 can do 16T, ext2 probably should be able to as well.
There are still "int" block containers in the block allocation path

Yeah, but who wants to do 16TB e2fsck on every boot?  I think there
needs to be some limits imposed for the sake of usability.

I figure this is in the fine tradition of "enough rope to hang oneself"

If you have 16T of filesystem you probably know enough to not hang yourself this way.

*shrug*

It's a bug, today. If we need another change to limit ext2 to 500G or something, fine by me. :)
