Sorry. Guess I was wrong on all counts. As for the general file size limits, I think that is really a library/kernel issue, not a filesystem issue. On rereading a couple things, it looks like ext3 (even ext2) supports >2GB with no problem, assuming you have appropriate kernel and library support. As for ht://Dig, it looks like there is a Berkeley DB issue. If you didn't already see it, there was another post today discussing the issue.
