Look at ftp://mea.tmt.tele.fi/linux/LFS/
You might also try the Simple Multi-Gigabyte Filesystem (smugfs) at ftp://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/pub/local/mj/linux/smugfs-0.0.tar.gz, which is a purely experimental (but AFAIK working) filesystem for very large (well, _only_ for large files since it allocates space in 1/255's of partition size :-)) files with very fast indexing (no indirect blocks etc.). Unfortunately, I don't have any time to maintain it.
