This was one of the primary reasons I abandoned an effort to run a Linux P4 server. Linux's filesystem, amazingly, only supports 2GB files.

I have since moved us from Linux to FreeBSD, and things now work great.

If you want to have a large repository, check out FreeBSD and the Vinum Volume Manager, which is included with FreeBSD. I've just built a striped volume that consists of 5 17-GB disk drives, yeilding a 75 GB disk volume. Vinum supports concatenation, striping, and striping with parity (RAID 0, 1, and 5 IIRC).
