Reasonable size for volumes

Hi all

One of the storage nodes on my OpenStack cloud has a fairly big raid 5 array, totaling 50T.

I'm new at managing such big capacities and a bit afraid of just creating a monstrous lvm volume that would make fsck and backup a nightmare.

So my question is, if I am to make a bunch of smaller volumes, what would be a decent compromise between cumbersome big and just too small?
