[Sussex] File Size Limit

[Kenny Millington]

> I bought an external hard disk which is ready to use with USB connection.
> All is fine except that when I try to store the DVD iso of 4.3gig it is
> apparently truncated to 4gig.
> I believe that this is a Windows partition file size limit problem.
> Presumably I should be reformatting to ext2/ext3 and I assume that that
> will answer the problem.
> Some clarification/knowledge of the limits would be very helpful.
