Ouch.  Thanks for the heads up.

2 GB file size limit and 32 GB filesystem limit.

Also, under Tiger (OS X) I can't get ext2fsx to mount ext2 or ext3  
filesystems.  Under Windows XP, explore2fs keeps crashing.  At least  
for now, that means that the only way for me to transfer data between  
OS X, Windows, and Linux is to use Samba over Ethernet.

My longer term plan is to turn these Mac's into Ubuntu machines.
