But i read in fbsd there should be already (experimental i think) a
support for LARGE_FILE, but it seems it doesn't work.

This is what the dumpe2fs says:

Filesystem revision #:    1 (dynamic)
Filesystem features:      dir_index filetype sparse_super

I Think (and correct me if i'm wrong) that "dynamic" means that
large_file support is enable in the fs.

Actually it's what i did.
I used split and then merged again back.
But i don't like it very much ;-)
Thanx everybody
