In the file wine/files/drive.c, in the function GetVolumeInformationW() 
(down around line 1965), is this:


     if (fsname && fsname_len)
     {
     	/* Diablo checks that return code ... */
         if (DOSDrives[drive].type == DRIVE_CDROM)
         {
             static const WCHAR cdfsW[] = {'C','D','F','S',0};
             strncpyW( fsname, cdfsW, fsname_len );
         }
	else
         {
             static const WCHAR fatW[] = {'F','A','T',0};
             strncpyW( fsname, fatW, fsname_len );
         }
         fsname[fsname_len - 1] = 0; /* ensure 0 termination */
     }

That appears to hardcode the filesystem "name" to FAT. You might try 
changing that to NTFS. That assumes that this is the call your app is 
using to determine filesystem type.

I assume you have already determined that ReiserFS supports files larger 
than 2GB?
