This is incorrect. ext2 and ext3 will support "filesystems" up to 2TB
and files up to 4TB. No thats not backwards and yes its odd that a file
can be up to 4 terrabytes and a filesystem only 2, but thats what it is.

However the "application" that your using might not support large files,
For instance perl hasn't had large file support until very recently.
