FreeBSD 4 does not have a 2gb filesize limit.  I have created files up
to 50gb, and I'm sure other people have created larger ones.  If you
have a program that is having problems creating files over 2gb, the
program itself is probably at fault.

UFS2 is only available on FreeBSD 5, but unless you need a filesystem
larger than 1TB, you don't really need UFS2.
