I'm curious where the 2GB limit is coming from. Are you certain your
max file size is 2GB in your environment? For reference, here are max
file sizes for common filesystems:
NTFS: 16 terabytes
HFS+ (Mac OS X): 8 exabytes (8 million terabytes)
EXT3: 16GB - 2TB depending on block size
Is the 2GB a Java limitation? Or perhaps related to some filesystem
APIs in use?
Not to say there aren't lots of other possibilities, but I just
thought it might be worth a look.
