No, it is not...  The reason you were limited to 128TB is that you did
not create your filesystem with -f 65536 -b 65536...  If you look at
my equation that I posted earlier, if you have a blocksize of 16384,
you end up with ~128TB as the max file size...

		    K	   M	  G	 T
(16384/8)^3*16384 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 == 128
