If you are having problems with a 2GB limit, then either your shell, libc, or tools is causing the problem. VFAT does have a 2GB limit, AFAIK, but I could be wrong. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tyler BIRD" <birdty@uvsc.edu> > > Ext2 Filesystems I believe have the limit of 2 GB.

Note that the kernel has a limit of 2TB for a single device. > > is maximum file size on SMBFS really 2GB? I cannot create file > > bigger than that. As for SMBFS, I don't know, but it can obviously not be larger than the limit on the server.
