FAT32 has 32-bit limitations. The maximum of 32-bit is equivalent to
4,294,967,295 or 1x32 in binary. Transferring files greater than 4.2GB is
not supported in those filesystem. Other filesystems with 32-bit limitations
are ReiserFS and HFS/HFS+. Transferring files greater than 4.2GB requires
LFS (Large File Support), among those are ext2/3/4, Reiser4, xfs, jfs and
ntfs.

Hope this helps.
