While I highly encourage use of XFS (it makes life with my crappy 
system-locking video card bearable), plain ol' ext2 is perfectly capable 
of  +2GB files. The limit in old Linux systems is not the old file 
system but the old memory addressing scheme. With a new kernel ext2 is 
fine for large files. I don't know about extremely large files (TB size) 
like XFS can do, but I think you'd have to get some sort of journaling 
system at the point that a fsck takes a day or two.
