A bit OT (doesn't relate specifically to sles) but relates to 16T support.

We currently have 1T drives in 10+2 configuration yielding 10 TB arrays. Today 
we have to split this into two logical parts to get under 8T. That is, today 
we could have used 16T support.

Tomorrow, however, we'll likely have 2T drives in 10+2 configuration and a 16T 
lustre will be just as limiting as 8T is today.

So, if you're using ext4 to go beyond 8T why not go further than 16T?
