BSD sort of does. Its not a file system limitation.
ext2fs is happy with big files on 64bit machines as are some versions of
UFS. The problem is the standard file API uses the long word side of the
machine - signed. That limits you to 2Gig file objects.
There is another API open64/read64/... etc which does not. At the moment
you need extra patches from Matti Aarnio to play with that - or a 64bit
machine and Linux 2.2
