It's not an ext2 limitation per se. It's a x86/32 bit limitation. ext2
on 64 bit platforms does not have this limitation. That being said, it
can be gotten around. I believe it requires some adjustments to glibc
(?), and maybe the kernel. Then individual apps may be expecting the
limitation as well.
