We need to set up a multiterrabyte filesystem (probably 30T), and NFS
export it.

Does linux nfs impose a maximum filesystem size?  Or is that strictly a
matter of the filesystem type being exported (ext3, xfs, lustre, gfs,
whatever)?  Does it matter if you're using nfs v2/v3/v4?  Does the
kernel version matter?  How about 32 bit vs 64 bit platforms (especially
interested in whether an opteron or linux ppc would help)?

Is linux NFS on 64 bit platforms stable?

Sorry if these questions have been asked before.  I didn't have much
luck locating answers (which might make a nice entry in a FAQ :), which
I'd be willing to take a stab at composing the entry for) by googling
and searching the list archives.
