NFS file size limits?

I was messing around with NFS this weekend, exporting my ext2 on LVM file systems, and noticed I/O errors while displaying directory entries containing my 2.5 GB bzip2'd backup file over NFS. Are the file size limits in NFS configurable? Chris Shaker

I wanted to throw in my experiences here. I've used reiserfs for over a year without any problems, both with NFS (and tar -- how could tar cause a problem?). I also just completed my own rather unscientific tests of the speed of ext2/ext3/reiserfs/JFS all on SuSE 7.3 Pro.
