A server crash with a 1 TByte volume will give headache for one week if
you are forced to run fsck. exspecialy if you 50 million mesages there.
I was already runing into this problem for some years on my courier-imap
and it was running arround 10 days to restore the volume.

Even if ext3/reiserfs/xfs support several billion inodes, having 50 mio
of messages and more in a maildir partition...
