"Depends" is the standard answer.
Oracle can handle files over 2g, some unixes can, some
unixes cannot, some say they can but cannot etc etc...
To compound things, in some versions, Oracle will let
the file go beyond 2g, only then to complain because
the unix won't let Oracle get to the bits after 2G -
thus corrupt db.
Unless you're on raw, I'd recommend a ceiling of 2g on
any datafile - just to be safe
