UDF supports a _single_ filesystem spanned across up to 65535
pieces of media. This is intended for an optical jukebox, though
there is no restriction that any block of a file has to reside
on an particular piece of media.
I had an interview the other day, and they were interested in my
Linux UDF work because they have to store huge amounts of high
resolution uncompressed digital images. [They use Linux btw.]
So I think there is a need NOW for large fs support, and there
surely will be one in the future. It only makes sense to me to
start the planning now, rather than waiting for Intel's 64-bit
x86 compatible chip.
