What storage limitations exist on Linux-ix86 systems besides the 2GB
limitation per file? Is there a partition size limitation?

I've been experimenting with a ~300GB Fibre channel Raid array and have
experienced problems beginning with partitions of 10GB or more... I can
create large partitions with fdisk, but mke2fs appears to suffer from a
limitation. I would appreciate any information/tips/pointers that this
list may be willing to share.
TIA,
