What are the limits for the local > filesystem (ext2, ext3, ReiserFS and XFS) ? ext2/3 support files up to 4TB by default. I'm not sure about reiserfs and XFS, but basically all of these four have the same practical limit --- you will run into the block device layer's own limit of 2TB per filesystem before you run into any of the fs file size limits.
