  Just to really make your day, one can encounter a 2 GB limit in:

  - The filesystem you're using
  - The kernel VFS layer
  - The kernel driver for the filesystem you're using
  - The C library
  - Userland utilities (like "cp")
  - Network protocols (like "NFS" or "SMB" or "AppleShare")
  - Implementations of said protocols (like "Samba" or "Netatalk")

  Find exactly which limit(s) you are hitting can be tedious.
