On a 32bit host system? Probably 2.xG. genext2fs seems to map the whole
Image, so the limit is you're virtual address space. Hmm, I tried a 6G
image here. I could create it, but it seems to be broken.
Why would you need such a large image anyways? Unless you have that much
contents initially, starting smaller and running resize2fs when booting for
the first time is better.
