Right now the question is wether or not your hardware
is 64-bit (UltraSPARC, or Alpha). If it is, EXT2 can
go upwards quite a bit.
When 2.4 comes out, then, perhaps, you get same sizes
with 32-bit systems too, HOWEVER then you *must* compile
your software with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE *and* have glibc 2.2
(2.1 can do half-way, necessary new kernel interfaces are
not here yet, but you can - perhaps - do compilations all
right and have ready program binary when the glibc updates..)
