Hi Marc, I would be a bit suspicious of the version of zlib or something similar. If it has only been compiled with a 32bit compiler, this could be causing an artificial limit of 2Gb on a pointer.
The ARCHIVE engine uses the zlib for its compression, that comes with mysql. I am presuming if it has been compiled in 32bit mode that a pointer or two maybe overflowing. These are just thoughts as I can't really find any reason in your logs as to why this should be happening. Do you have a ulimit set for the user? This could be constricting your file growth to 2Gb.

David - When the mysqld process restarts, there is nothing in the logfile except the basic startup info. I have listed it below:0:33). 051116 10:06:33 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections.

I am also looking at alternative solutions in which I use multiple ARCHIVE dbs with each being < 2 gb.
