yes, it worked fine, this is what iI got:

pokeball:/backup1# ls -l test
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     23622320128 Oct 18 12:55 test

... and this is what ulimit -a returns as I run it from the backup user:

admin at pokeball:/backup1$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks)     0
data seg size (kbytes)      unlimited
file size (blocks)          unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes)  unlimited
max memory size (kbytes)    unlimited
open files                  1024
pipe size (512 bytes)       8
stack size (kbytes)         8192
cpu time (seconds)          unlimited
max user processes          4095
virtual memory (kbytes)     unlimited

This is normal in ext2. File size is limited to 2 Gb. I have read some
messages saying this limitation is not in ext2 natively, but I think all
ext2fss from all major distributions I've been working with have this
limitation.
