• (REW, AC) In the 2.0.x kernels, maximum file size (not to be confused with partition sizes, which can be much larger) under ext2fs is 2GB. Larger files are only supported on 64-bit architectures (Alpha and UltraSPARC) in late 2.1.1xx kernels. Files larger than 2GB are difficult to support on 32-bit architectures. This will probably be implemented in the 2.3 kernel series.
