NSS volumes can be up to 8 TB in size currently, and only if you have four
2 TB partitions as I recall. Considering the amount of data you unless
you need to use NSS you're probably better off with the larger traditional
Linux filesystems. A lot of those data (mysql for example) probably will
not benefit from NSS anyway (users don't access DB files directly
usually). Web files may be helpful to have available to users directly
depending on if users should have access to them. NSS is great (probably
the best) at user-based file sharing but if these web/DB files are made to
just be used by the system then NSS may not be the best fit. You could
still do it with multiple NSS volumes if you wanted to though.

Good luck.
