If you say ext3, the limit exhausts at 2TB, because of "the number of blocks" (forgot the variable) in the ext3_inode structure is a 32 bit field, and it overflows if the filesize exceeds 2TB. There are certain checks in the filesystem code, to check this value does not overflow. This is true for 64 bit systems as well, cause this is the on disk inode structure. I think XFS can handle larger file sizes but I am not sure of the limits, again talking of the filesystem not the arch. -- Goldwyn -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
