ext2/3 : 16TB
reiserFS : 1EB (exabyte)
JFS : 16TB on 32 bit, 4PB (petabyte) on 64 bit
XFS : 8TB
I guess none of these will give problems for an average user ;-)
I don't know which one is best for large files. Also note that the
application must be compiled with large file support for this to work. I
guess most video tools will be OK.
