Thanks for that info. I was skeptical, and I have a 2.4.x kernel on my
Linux box, so I tried it. You are right. The 2**31 - 1 byte limit is gone.

Linux running Kernel 2.4.x has done away with the 2GB limit. No need for
ReiserFS or XFS to solve this problem.
As an FYI. One of the largest search engines on the net runs a Red Hat
Linux farm. Google. So it can't be all bad.

# Linux using ReiserFS has no more limit of 2Gb file size.

# Just be careful about Linux because it has a maximum 2G file size
# (size for
# a single file). This can get in the way of some search engines
# which build
# large random-access files that exceed 2G. But it should not pose any kind
# of a problem for mail, especially if MAILDIR format is used.

# lots of hits.
#
# If Free BSD breaks the 2G limit, I'd go with Free BSD.
