So does ext2, which has annoyed me on more than one occasion. Does XFS or ReiserFS have this limitation? BTW I also found out by accident that, while NTFS allows files larger than 2G, you can't access them from Linux. ls displays the correct size, but any program that attempts actually to *open* the file treats it as though it has size zero.
