ext3 has a 2gig file size limit. Modern linux kernels can get around the 2gig
limit in ext2, however (though many apps aren't sure what to do with files >
2gig (eg. ftp, if I recall)).

This is one of the reasons I've not moved to any of the journaling file
systems in linux: file size limits are too restrictive yet.
