[Linux-cluster] File size limitation on GFS

Hi everybody, 
is there is a maximum file size the GFS can handle?
I tried to do some tests with big files, and I couldn't open (open(2)) 
files that
were  >= 2Go. (It works with 1Go files, I didn't try sizes between 1 and 
2 Go).

I would like to know if this limitation comes from my configuration or 
from the GFS
file system.

I searched an answer in the web and in the mailing list but I didn't 
found anything,
If I missed something I'd be very sorry and an url to the article
I missed would be a great answer :).

Thanks in advance!

Regards
