the design of kfs is such that the maximum file size is
derived from the block size. i believe the following are
correct for finding the max size from a given block size:
	max_in_blocks = 6 + iba + iba*iba
	iba = (blocksize - 8)/sizeof(ulong)
multiply by (blocksize -8) to get size in bytes.
so the simplest way to answer your question is "use a
bigger block size" (which, of course, involves reformating
your kfs partition, and makes it a bit less efficient with
space).

my solution to this problem, since i wasn't willing to
reformat my existing partition, was to simply buy enough
ram to hold a CD image.
