No, FS is ReiserFS and it supports huge files.
Standard UNIX command 'stat' gives the following:

File: `suse-8.2-1.iso'
  Size: 3939696640      Blocks: 7702234    IO Block: 4096   regular file
Device: 301h/769d       Inode: 797         Links: 1
Access: (0644/-rw-r--r--)  Uid: (    0/    root)   Gid: (    0/    root)
Access: 2003-11-10 19:59:14.000000000 +0100
Modify: 2003-04-25 12:56:04.000000000 +0200

This is definitely OK. But the standard C function 'stat' seems to have a 
problem. I wrote a short test program in C (sorry, I don't know ocaml) to 
test the system function:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  struct stat buf;

  lstat("/suse-8.2-1.iso", &buf);

  printf("%lf\n", (double)buf.st_size);

  return 0;
}


This prints a size of -355270656.000000 which is definitely NOT OK!
Since even ocaml seems to use this system function this might be the problem.

I will look into the sources of the 'stat' command the evening to see which 
function is called there.
