Yeah, that was a limit of NTFS4. NTFS5 has no file size limitation. It also adds some other cool features to the mix, such as quotas (finally), even more security attributes, the encrypted filesystem, what they called Distributed Link Tracking - it allows things like shortcuts, etc. to "follow" the location of files. (not new, been in the Mac alias for years, but still nice to have.), a sort of pseudo-symbolic link feature, and sparse file support. I really wish we had a full-featured file system like that under Linux, but it may be a while. Actually, all I really want is unlimited file size - is that to omuch to ask?

Actually, last I heard for Windows NT 4 was that there was a 4 TB limit on NTFS. That may have changed for Windows 2000.
