Where can I find more info on ext2? I'm mainly interested in max fs size and
max file size. I checked the usual suspects: howto's, man/info pages,
/usr/doc/ and /usr/src/linux/Documentation . On a system with stable slink I
able to make 1gig files, in an otherwise empty 3.8 gig partition, but under
2.1 with 2.2.12 kernel (that Oreilly disk) I was able to make 2gig files.

The best way is to have identical disks, so you don´t have to worry about
lilo, partitions or anything else, just
dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb
IMHO this is also the best way to backup NT, just insert tomsrtbt
<http://www.toms.net/rb/home.html>, boot, dd, and don´t mind anything.
In case of OS weirdness just dd the other way ;-)
