Which version of Centos are you running? According to 
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/ 8T is the max for rhel4 and 16T (if 
you're on 64bit) the max for rhel5. And even with 64-bit rhel5 I'm unsure if 
any filesystem (create-time options) can be extended to 16T.

That said, I've not dared to go beyond 8T for ext3 (we use xfs).
