This is *not* a limitation of the filesystem. Greater than 2gig files
are allowed when glibc is compiled against 2.4.x headers. This does not
mean that everything will support greater than 2 gig. Samba and the
gnome filemanager to name two.(in the 2.2.x era distros). I believe
that all of the distros that ship with the 2.4.x kernel now support
greater than 2 gig across the board.
