I could be wrong, but I think you'd run up against a 2gb limit regardless of filesystem, because the library calls for lseek() which are used to position to a point in the file have capacity for only long values (4 bytes) and 2gb is the biggest number you can put in a long (signed, that is). Whether support exists for unsigned long (4gb) I don't know. Anything much greater than that and one needs support for 'long long' (64 bit) types. I figure we won't be needing anything greater than that anytime soon :). > Ashley
