[NTLUG:Discuss] File Size Limits

[gan hawk]

The issue is not with file system alone. Applications need to support 64 bit 
addressing. Like if the application uses open() for reading files, it will 
not work and you have to use open64() or set O_LARGEFILE. I learnt this the 
hard way when working on a progam to image computers.
But you can file a bug with apache and they should fix it.
