On Linux 2.4 the actual limit is 16/32 Terabytes (4K/8K blocksize * 32-bit block-number). I can support in NWFS 2.4.1 (next release) files even larger (256TB) however, you are correct that on Linux 2.4 I will be limited to 16 TB filesizes since we support up to 4K device blocksizes (could enable 8K though).
