Thank you Jim,
How can I find the current block size and file system type ?
File system type can be found in 3rd column of /etc/fstab.
For ext{2,3} file systems the block size can be found by
tune2fs -l /dev/XXXX | grep "Block size"
where XXX is something like 1) sda1 (for SCSI or SATA partitions) 2) md0 (for software raid devices) 3) VolGroup00/LogVol00 (for Logical Volumes under LVM)

What is the largest file size that can be created on Linux ? is there any limitation ?
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
