EP/IX, Control Data's enhanced Unix, which runs on the Control Data
4000 product line. On EP/IX, file systems and disk partitions can
exceed the standard Unix(r) limitation of 2 gigabytes. The virtual
disk extensions that have been made in EP/IX make it possible for the
file systems/partitions to approach 1 terrabyte in size. Individual
files are still limited to 2 GB in size. The file system utilities like
fsck, dump and resore will accomodate the large file systems.
Of course, the standard disclaimer applies.

However, if you need to export it across NFS, you're stuck with 2GB anyway.
NFS can't address beyond that point.
