Sun Solaris and 2.0Gb limit
Years ago, I seem to remember some sort of size limit within Solaris - is it 2.0Gb max size of a file? (This is on "SunOS machinename 5.9 Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-280R). Can you can make filesystems any size you want.

ulimit reports what the current user has been limited to and not what the system can do. With Sol2.5.1 and below the max file size was 2g as open/read/write used a 32 bit offset. When 2.6 was released a open64() etc, system call was introducted allowing a 2tb file size to be created. With Solaris 9 and ufs the limit is higher enough not to worry
May need to look at the manual page mount_ufs(1M) and largefile(5) or just ask on scoobynet
