I assume you are recording WAV files.
WAV files are a particular type of RIFF file. The chunks these files are
composed of, have a size field in its header. This field is 32 bits, so,
the limit is 4 Gbs. BUT most implementations i've seen, use SIGNED 32
bit integers to manage this field, thus, giving the 2 Gb limitation. It
you want to record more, you'll have to try another format (what about
raw?) of, even better, use a program capable of splitting the files
while recording. (this way you avoid problems with the filesystem
limits)
