File size limits for ext3

[Brian Borowski]

Tom:
The only thing you should have to do for larger than 2GB files, is make
sure you are running the latest libraries, the latest utilities that have
been built with these libraries, and of course your samba built with the
latest libraries.  We had a big pain with this one, until I got everything
up to date on a machine we use for processing Cisco netflow data for UWO,
because we needed larger than 2GB files for this stuff.

These days, even an hour of netflow data, can get to be larger than 2GB if
we have to uncompress it.

The kernels have supported large files from after 2.2.12 or 2.2.14  or
something around there.
