Hi I just found this on http://www.linux.org/news/bin/news


Linux breaks 100-Petabyte ceiling
Date:  2001-11-07
Source:  The Register
Summary:  We almost forgot to mention this, but Linux recently became the
first desktop OS to support enormously large file sizes. How large?
144 Petabytes, or 144,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. A Petabyte is roughly a
thousand Terabytes, with a Terabyte being roughly a thousand Gigabytes, of
course.

So what sort of file would be this big.
