I think that article may be outdated.  In my own experience I've
created files much larger than 2GB on an ext3 filesystem and a
Google search on the subject seems to point to a max size of 4TB.
AFAIK, the 2GB limit would apply to what can be loaded into 
memory at once.

2GB is the max filesize for 32bit operating systems.
