Lawrence Berkeley Labs. Physicists have collosal data sets these days.
I've worked in labs where any file older than 5 days was deleted if it
was on a certain partition. You were supposed to keep your data on tape
and only use the disk for immediate work. And those partitions were huge.
The CERN Aleph detector, when I visited it back in '93, had exabyte tapes
running _in_parallel_ to be able to collect all the data fast enough. That
and automatic loading of the tapes.
