This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but...Oracle's documentation
strongly recommends not using cooked disk space for their databases.  Oracle
prefers raw partitions (perhaps they all do).

Subject: Linux File size limits


I need some help from you file system gurus out there.

1) What is the maximum file size that Linux allow.  For an Oracle database 
file for example.

2) What is that maximum size that the entire filesystem can be?  XX
Terabytes??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Peter
