Yes, when you start having such large environments, ext3 and ext4 start to look limited.

reiserfs, vxfs, xfs or another "large enterprise" solution would work better in those cases.

Under ext4 -although unlikely- you may even deplete the available inodes before you run out of disk space.

I have had this happen in ext2, ext3, and ext4, but always with very small filesystems, where the defaults are extremely conservative.
