2GB limit does exist, but its only for fat16.

Last I checked, Linux vfat has a limit of 2GB. But this is because Linux driver
hasn't been updated for new largefile api, and is not a limitation of the
filesystem itself. (Linux/x86 used to have file size limit of 2GB regardless
of filesystem but that has changed with 2.4)

That didn't work for me. This did:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/using/productdoc/en/choosing_between_NTFS_FAT_and_FAT32.asp

(BTW that web page doesn't mention linux at all.)
