1. Because it will give you terrible gas.

2. I'm not going to open this up for a big FS thread but xfs/reiserfs
performs much better on large partitions then ext2/3 in my humble
experience - I also seem to remember that I could not create a
partition larger then 4TB with ext3 on my system, though, I suffer
from fetal alcohol syndrome so maybe I was doing something wrong.
