Sorry, but I do not agree.
I think a couple of days ago there was a posting of someone who said he
had a SuSE 7.3 system and cannot create files larger than 2G. I don't
know if this is true for all SuSE 7.3 systems, but I have my doubts also
about Debian with a 2.2ish kernel (or do they include the LFS patches in
the default kernel?).
So please, keep the default at 2G and maybe make it configurable, to set
an max. value of 2T (or maybe even more with 2.6er kernels?).

Cheers,
Juri
