max ext2/3 filesystem and file size

[T. Horsnell]

I'm trying to find the maximum size of an ext3 filesystem
and the maximum size of a file within that system.

linux-2.6.17/Documentation/filesystems/ext2.txt says:

Filesystem block size:     1kB        2kB        4kB        8kB

File size limit:          16GB      256GB     2048GB     2048GB
Filesystem size limit:  2047GB     8192GB    16384GB    32768GB

There is a 2.4 kernel limit of 2048GB for a single block device, so no
filesystem larger than that can be created at this time.  There is also
an upper limit on the block size imposed by the page size of the kernel,
so 8kB blocks are only allowed on Alpha systems (and other architectures
which support larger pages).

Does anyone know if the '2.4 kernel limit of 2048GB' has been raised
in the 2.6 kernels? Has anyone successfully built an ext2/3 > 2TeraBytes?
If so, what kernel are you using and what did you use to label the
device? fdisk/sfdisk/parted/...

Cheers,
Terry.
