Of course there is. On ext2 I just created a 5GB file and compressed it
with bzip2 (gzip still needs some further patches, as well as mc).
fileutils and textutils support it. For other applications still depends
(e.g. joe can't edit a file so big...).
On reiserfs there are still problems because it still chokes on my chipset with latest
kernels (.2-25mdk, .3-3mdk) so can't test myself for big files.
