In general, 2GB was the old file limit (31 bits) on 32-bit machines, and for newer architectures (either by large file support on 32-bit machines, or on 64-bit machines), file sizes can be up to 63 bits (more bytes than you will ever have storage for). Within tar, there are some smaller limits; for example, the ustar format is incapable of anything larger than 8GB, because of the way the file size is stored in the tar file. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
