My research doesn't confirm that you _can_ do what you want using ext2 or ext3. I will have a better grasp if you answer the questions I asked.

This isn't really answering Miles questions, but I thought it was good to know for the conversation, and sorta answers John's. question.

 From RedHat's documentation on the limits of various things
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compare/

For RHEL 5 (and hense SL 5)

**i386**
Max Filesize (ext3) - 2TB
Max Filesystem Size (ext3) - 8TB

**x86_64**
Max Filesize (ext3) - 2TB
Max Filesystem Size (ext3) - 16TB

Troy

The limits depend on the block size.

Any ideas limits for NFS ? Does it depend on blocksize ? client architecture (ie. 32/64 bit) ?

Thanks,
--Chris
