The maximum file size in Linux depends on the file system being used

The maximum file size in Linux depends on the file system being used. Here are the maximum file size limits for some common Linux file systems: ext2/ext3: Maximum file size is 2TB. ext4: Maximum file size is 16TB with 4KB blocks and 50TB with 64KB blocks. XFS: Maximum file size is 8 exbibytes (EiB). Btrfs: Maximum file size is 16 exbibytes (EiB). ReiserFS: Maximum file size is 8TB. ZFS: Theoretical maximum file size is 16 exbibytes (EiB) but practically limited by the size of the pool.
