For a comparison of of file systems limits see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...systems#Limits
Yes FAT32 is very limited in that case, I alwasy use split(1) for bigger then 4GB files on FAT32.

It would be nice to have exFAT support on FreeBSD, but there is zero to none chance that Microsoft would release it without all these patents and fees.

Strange case (as usual with mfaridi), he used NTFS (which does not have this limit) ... and then he hits the 4GB file limit (maybe he reformatted it as FAT32, who knows).
