I've got a 27T drive, single partition, about half full. Combination of
big files and lots of small ones. 32G of ECC RAM. Hardware RAID5 ATM
though I've used software RAID5 on the same array and that was good too.
I keep offline backups of everything. I think it takes around an hour to
fsck, but I haven't timed it. Not using softdep. Not RO. Not sure what
the file system is, whatever newfs chose...disklabel says fstype is
4.2BSD.

I created a 24T disk with ff2. I populated 2Tb of it while in async
mode, then pulled the power. fsck took only 5 minutes.
Later, I repartitioned the machine to the sizes we actually want
(several 5T partitions) and it is running as ftp.hostserver.de. We
aren't using softdep, and generally run RO on many of the partitions.
Please give it a try on your own hardware, paritition sizes, and
collection of files.
