Big filesystems

[Michael James]

What's the limit on Linux filesystems?

I've got 2 RAIDs with ~420Gig in each

I was planning to LVM them into a single container
 and slice them back into home space (backed up)
 and database space (un-backed up as I can re-load them off the net).

But LVM spat the dummy saying 200Gig was the limit,
 a single 400 Gig slice was out, let alone joining 2.

So what's the limit?

Also, does anyone know what filesystems have utilities to grow them?
I want to add more space later and apportion it
 without backing up and reloading.
Reiser and Ext3 are the ones I'm most interested in.

TIA,
michaelj
