That's a great Idea, I'm going to save this one. But, I think Edwin doesn't have this problem, meaning he says he doesn't have a file larger than 2gb.
Could be hidden, or maybe you mounted over a directory that had a huge file, just digging here.

Perhaps I misunderstand something here, but... The holding disk afaik holds the entire dump of the filesystem you try and backup to make it one last file that is able to get faster onto tape once completed. So if your partition has more than 2GB in use, that file might be bigger than 2GB and you run into a filesystem limit. Had that problem with an older Linux installation, turning off holding-disk and dumping directly to tape works fine in that case.
