1. Get ahold of VMware Workstation 6.


2. Create as many 950 GB sparse virtual disks as you need. Maximum is
currently 60 SCSI disks and 4 IDE disks per VM. If more vaporware
storage is needed, use nbd^W openiscsid to make the space available
as block devices in one central VM.


3. Combine into a RAID array (linear or level 0); less than 16 TB.
# mdadm -C /dev/md0 -l linear -n 11 /dev/sd[b-l]
# fdisk -l /dev/md0
Disk /dev/md0: 11220.6 GB, 11220601339904 bytes


4. Create filesystem
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/md0
fs created on /dev/md0 nodesize 16384 leafsize 16384 sectorsize 4096
bytes 11220601339904


It seems like I hit it early this time - the (virtual) disks were
blank this time.

5. Mount
# mount -t btrfs /dev/md0 /mnt
Segmentation fault


6. Profit??
:-)
