This depends on several things, including the architecture (x86_64 vs
x86) and the blocksize used for the filesystem.

For ext3, it breaks out like this ->

Block size 	Max file size 	Max filesystem size
1KiB 	          16GiB 	    2TiB
2KiB 	          256GiB 	   8TiB
4KiB 	          2 TiB 	     16TiB
8KiB 	         16TiB 	            32TiB
