mount ext3 partition as writable (solved)

[Harry Kuhman]

is this save limitation a TOTAL of 4 gig, or is it 4gig for one file?

4 gig (actually 4 gig minus one byte) is a file size limitation for FAT32 partitions. You can have larger partitions that that on FAT32 (you apparently do) and it should be pretty obvious that you can have more than 4 gogs of files total if you have, say, an 80 gig partition.
