You do not *have* to do this. NTFS and ext2/3/4 (as well as most other file systems supported under Linux such as xfs, jfs, reiser 3/4 etc.) support file sizes larger than 2G > > My last though is, what kind of idiot designs a NAS to use vfat?

In theory fat32 could support up to 8 TiB but the boot sector uses a 32 bit sector count, limiting the maximum size to 2 TiB.
I am a big fan of my DNS 323 (I am probably going to get a DNS 343 soon). It has linux on board which you can extend to support things like svn, rsync, and ssh (I use those three a lot actually).
