That's absurd. I'm using a 32 bit processor and I have files of 9 gigas,
so having large files is not an intrinsic processor limitation.
Actually, if you look at the opensuse manual, «Table 17.2. Maximum Sizes
of File Systems (On-Disk Format)»
<http://localhost/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-manual_en/manual/sec.filesystems.lfs.html#tab.maxsize>
shows the large file support limits for NFS:
File System File Size (Bytes) File System Size (Bytes)
- --------------------+-------------------+----------------------------
NFSv2 (client side) 2^31 (2 GiB) 2^63 (8 EiB)
NFSv3 (client side) 2^63 (8 EiB) 2^63 (8 EiB)
The kernel limit for 32 bit processors is 2TiB (2^41 bytes).
So, 4GiB is very far from the limit. Either there is some parameter needed
somewhere, or there is a bug.
