Probably, assuming the hardware is supported. Ext3, the default filesystem,
supports up to 4TB on 32-bit hardware (and up to 16TB on bigger archs --
possibly more, but I've never had the pleasure of having to worry about that
limit). I believe ReiserFS supports up to 16TB on all architectures. XFS is
limited to 16TB on 32-bit systems and 9 exabytes (!) on 64-bit systems.

FC3, probably.

<http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html> is one place.
<http://www.namesys.com/faq.html#reiserfsspecs> for ReiserFS.
<http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/index.html> for XFS.

There's also IBM's JFS, but I know very very little about that.
