Ohhhhhhhh. Why didn't you *say* you wanted marketing numbers. :-)
For ext2 on 64-bit hardware:
Maximum file size = 2 terabytes
Maximum filesystem size = 32 terabytes
Maximum number of files in a filesystem = Unlimited
Maximum number of files in a single directory = Unlimited
Maximum number of subdirectories in a single directory = 32768
Maximum number of inodes in a filesystem = 2^32 (approx 4.3 billion)
