Not only that. Current versions of Squid proxy cannot handle files
larger that 2GB. Current versions of Samba server are unable to handle
storing such a large file. Many ftp and web clients have this limit too.
Summary: there are too much possible difficulties on client's side. The
image should be SMALLER than 2GB.
