If you upgrader your glibc and your kernel then it can go over 2GB just
fine. The limit is not the filesystem but glibc and the kernel. Overall a
newer dist will take care of this automatically but even with ext2 if you
upgrade glibc, the kernel, and compile python with large file support you
should be fine.
