I've regularly <mysqldump'ed and restored 500 meg of data for arround a year
with no problems. The only issue I have is that one system uses ext2 and I
may hit 2 gig file problems.

IMHO people whom move from platform A to platform B because they "cannot get
it to work" should be treated with some caution. If on the on the jand they
have issues with XYZ with plaform C version d.e.f and have moved then thats
different.
