I wasn't suggesting that the 2GB limit should be removed completely. I know there are many issues in this topic including VFS
. If you read back, I was suggesting a way to _change_ this behaviour. The 2GB limit is somthing many of us need it disabled, so somthing like the option of overburning (disabled by default, but can be enabled by those who want it) will really really be great.
