Umm... Propably not. While the theorethical block addressability
goes up like (blksize/4)**3 function, the maximum offset encodable
with blocks is different (non-exponential) function:
32-bits per block offset within FS, giving us 4G blocks maximum.
blksize offset (blksize/4)^3 max size
1k 4 TB 16 GB 16 GB
2k 8 TB 256 GB 256 GB
4k 16 TB 4 TB 4 TB
8k 32 TB 64 TB 32 TB
So, you can't have 70TB filesystem with EXT2 even if you had the
hardware... (counting with 1024 byte kilos that is 64 TB)
Also I think that at Intel you are better off to limit yourself
to 4k blocks as those match paging system page size, and using
larger blocks than pagesize is rather difficult...
