I had none, either, but the filesystem was dumped into a file as a
whole, leading to a huge file, same with tar. The problem only occurs
as holding-disk is used. Continuously writing a stream of unlimited
size to a tape is no problem, but as soon as you try to do this onto a
filesytem, you run in whatever limits you have, mostly 2GB-limits on a
single file.
No holding-disk -> no big file -> no problem. (well, tape might have
to stop more often because of interruption in data-flow)
