Nevermind....

Should learn to sit on fingers longer. From the ext3 faq:


    Q: What is the largest possible size of an ext3 filesystem and of
    files on ext3?

inspired by Andreas Dilger, suggested by Christian Kujau:

Ext3 can support files up to 1TB. With a 2.4 kernel the filesystem size 
is limited by the maximal block device size, which is 2TB. In 2.6 the 
maximum (32-bit CPU) limit is of block devices is 16TB, but ext3 
supports only up to 4TB.
