        I don't believe this is correct. I've got a 2.02 GB and a 3.0 GB
(both Linux) ext2 partition, under YDL 1.2/1.2.1, and haven't had *any*
problems (this is on my PowerBook).

        On our servers, we have several 9 GB+ ext2 partitions, and are
going to be making 60 GB+ partitions once the new HDs come in... :)
