And use an FS capable of >2GB files (like XFS)
While I highly encourage use of XFS (it makes life with my crappy system-locking video card bearable), plain ol' ext2 is perfectly capable of +2GB files. The limit in old Linux systems is not the old file system but the old memory addressing scheme. With a new kernel ext2 is fine for large files. I don't know about extremely large files (TB size) like XFS can do, but I think you'd have to get some sort of journaling system at the point that a fsck takes a day or two. --jcc (all day long)
