Note Kernel Limitations: The table above describes
limitations of the on-disk format. The following kernel limits
exist:
On 32-bit systems with Kernel 2.4.x: The size of a file and a
block device is limited to 2 TiB. By using LVM several block
devices can be combined enabling the handling of larger file
systems.
64-bit systems: The sizes of a filesytem and of a file are
limited by 263 (8 EiB). But there might be hardware
driver limits that do not allow to access such large devices.
Kernel 2.6: For both 32-bit systems with option CONFIG_LBD set
and for 64-bit systems: The size of a file system is limited to
273 (far too much for today). On 32-bit systems
(without CONFIG_LBD set) the size of a file is limited to 2 TiB.
