The following info is from the SuSE 8.1 Administration Guide, page 467
The table lists both maximum file size and maximum file system size:
file system file size file system
ext2 & 3 (1kB blocks) ~16 GB 2 TB
ext2/3 (2kB blocks) 256 GB 8 TB
ext2/3 (4kB blocks) 2 TB 16 TB
resiser 3.5 4 GB 16 TB
resiser 3.6 2^60 bytes 16 TB
(used in 2.4 kernel) (1 EB)
XFS 2^63 bytes 2 TB (kernel limit)
(8 EB)
JFS (512B blocks) 41943904 GB 512 TB
(4 PB)
JFS (4kB blocks) 32 PB
Hope this helps.
