Sorry, not quite correct ...

you could use ext2 as well since its fully LFS-compliant. ext2 itself
was never the problem, but (as someone had already pointed out in here)
the VFS-layer in Linux (which was heavily influenced by
i386-architecture -> 32bit).

But you should not mix up systems with LFS (large file support) an such
withpout (e.g. Linux 2.2.). The 2.2 based System will be able to read
from large files, but nothing  more.

Perhaps you might have a look at:

for some more details (esp. in respect to the C-libs used).
