The ext4 filesystem can support volumes with sizes up to 1 exbibyte (EiB) and files with sizes up to 16 tebibytes (TiB).[9]

| If you use 32bit os, your limit 16TB.

| Ext4 can support beyond 16TB, however the tools that use to format the ext4 is not update to date yet.

| First of all it seems you have a lot of problems
Secondly, I am not sure if using 12 drives on Raid0 is a good idea. You know if one of your drives fails you will loose all of your data?

| Is there any reason you don't go with centos-7? It supports XFS filesystem which will let you expand HDD size upto exbibytes.

| Running centos with 64bit can handle that.
You need to use GPT in order to partition it.

| Are you making your root FS to be 48T or whatever that you get from raid6? I guess that would be a pain when it comes to fsck
