This is probably something silly I overlooked, but when I tried to copy 
several large files to a 4GB filesystem, I received a max filesize error 
exceeded.

I was logged in as root so I can only assume this was a filesystem issue.

I am running FreeBSD 3.0-Current on:

Gateway P5-133
32MB RAM
Buslogic SCSI card
Quantum Fireball 1280S (boot drive)
Seagate ST15150N (newfs on /dev/sd1s1e with bs: 8192 and fs: 1024)

Any help would be appreciated..
