Hi, More updates,
First, I'm running 2.4.20, not 2.40.0, typo. Secondly, all of the file systems I tested support file sizes > 2 GB, assuming the application writing the file has this flag used during the compile (assuming you're using gcc): -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 I created a 5 GB file no problem. I then copied this file to various file systems with no problems.
