Having had some very strange errors flagged during an aborted attempt to fsck a really, really badly corrupted ext3 filesystem (for instance, inodes reporting an i_size in the multi-petabyte range on a 40GB disk), I was pondering the SI prefixes, particularly the higher ones (zetta-, yotta-) and the thought occurred to me:

"You know, somehow or another, we've really got to slip a holotta- prefix in there somewhere."
