Looks like, my zip file can not support files bigger than 2GB. Is there any workaround for this?

thanks

Check the changelog on your zip program to see if it's been changed
to support more than 2G.  For example, on Fedora Core 3:

$ rpm -q --changelog zip
 
===========

* Mon Jun 21 2004 Lon Hohberger <lhh at redhat.com> 2.3-24

- Extend max file/archive size to 2^32-8193 (4294959103) bytes
- Include better debugging output for configure script

===========

If it's already been changed, perhaps there's some other problem or
still a bug in the utility.
