yes, the latest 2.3 kernels have large file support (LFS) integrated:
moon:> ls -l bigfile
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 4033439744 Nov 14 01:58 bigfile
this is a 4GB file on ext2fs with 2.3.28 on x86. There are still some
system calls missing AFAIK (eg. lstat64(), mmap64()), but basically the
main limitation (the page cache) has been fixed. The maximum file size
limit on ext2fs right now is around 16TB [?].
