This is incorrect. XFS has yet to see the light of day for Linux. Much more probable (since it is _useable_ ) would be ext3 and/or ReiserFS, which both have alpha-level journalling support. Currently ext3 journals _all_ of the data, as opposed to meta-data only.
And the 2GB limit is in the Linux VFS - XFS will (assuming it comes out) change it so it supports more than 2GB, but from what I understood neither ext3 nor reiserfs will support >2GB files on 32-bit Linux.
It is possible to break the 2GB limit on Linux-X86, it requires teh Large File Summit patch, wich can be found via kernelnotes.org. Have not yet trie dit myself, but it is on the list for this month. :-) It has been indicated that if the LFS patch works out well enough, without introducing too many new bugs, it may go into ext3.
