Not yet, but I'm going in that direction soon (I think). Please read my
response to Sandy concerning my hard drive setup. Right now, I do not
have to worry about the 2.1GB limit, because of the way I backup my
files (see my previous response).

I am considering going to LVM and JFS. Do you have any experience with
these? I understand that that JFS has a speed performance penalty,
relative to HPFS, in order to journal the hard drive data in case of a
dirty system shutdown. Do you know if that's true?
