Nevermind.... Should learn to sit on fingers longer. From the ext3 faq: Q: What is the largest possible size of an ext3 filesystem and of files on ext3? inspired by Andreas Dilger, suggested by Christian Kujau: Ext3 can support files up to 1TB. With a 2.4 kernel the filesystem size is limited by the maximal block device size, which is 2TB. In 2.6 the maximum (32-bit CPU) limit is of block devices is 16TB, but ext3 supports only up to 4TB.
