The combination of someone running a RAID array, or modern hard drives, with more than 2TB of free space on a single filesystem, and still continuing to use antiquated 32-bit versions of Linux, is sufficiently rare that no one even noticed the problem until late last year.

I may be missing something, but wouldn't another solution be to upgrade to a 64-bit version of Linux on the backend(s)?
