Maximum file size



I was running a video capture program yesterday on my Debian box. I was
capturing to a FAT32 partition and after a while, I came across the 2GB
single file limit that FAT32 has. I was using the windows partition
since it had the most amount of free space, but free space is no good if
it can't handle the file sizes!

What I was wondering was, what are the maximum file sizes of ext2, ext3
and Reiser. Are any of these formats particularly good for video capture
(i.e. don't get really fragmented by having ~4GB files added and removed
all the time). I'm thinking of building a PVR type machine and all this
information would be very useful to me.

Thanks,
Andy
