I have fat32 partition, but the problem isn´t the size of partition it is 8GB. The problem is that if you want to create a cpio backup of a linux system 3.5GB (I did that to reformat a ext2 to a reiserfs) to an available fat32 space, in my case the backup size is allways 2GB and when I tried to extract back I saw "unexpected end of file". So I thought it was that famous kernel limitation of 2GB under any kind of partition, but i was informed that fat has this limitation too. So the kernel may suport files bigger than 2GB (I really don´t know, I just know that in my case with fat32 it did not and I saw this too with some oracle databases that could not be used when they grow and reach 2GB, may be a library problem too).
