http://batleth.sapienti-sat.org/projects/FAQs/ext3-faq.html says:

   Ext3 can support files up to 1TB. With a 2.4 kernel the filesystem size
   is limited by the maximal block device size, which is 2TB. In 2.6 the
   maximum (32-bit CPU) limit is of block devices is 16TB, but ext3
   supports only up to 4TB.
