What?!?! Where did you get that impression? Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems for a nice comparison of filesystems. The ext3 filesystem can support files up to two terabytes. I suspect that the issue is that the application trying to access the file can't deal with files over 2GB. This is an application problem, not a filesystem issue. Thomas
