No need to shout.  Just look at it yourself:

"The situation about the different filesystems used in Linux 2.4.0 can
  be summarized as follows: 

ext2/ext3
    Full support for LFS"

Also:

$ ls -l /home/nfsuser/NenkoISO_Ne\ e\ zapisano.iso
-rwxr--r--    1 nfsuser  nfsuser  4701638656 Mar 10 19:07 /home/nfsuser/NenkoISO_Ne e zapisano.iso

$ mount
/dev/md0 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,data=writeback,errors=remount-ro)

suneesh> Better use XFS if you need support for larger files.

XFS might be better, but definitely not for this reason.
