Most file systems use a 4-byte integer to index bytes in a file. This means
the file cannot have more bytes than the largest 4-byte integer, or
2147483647 bytes (a.k.a. 2 GB). There is no way around this (except using
a different file system). You will have to do a restart before the file
reaches 2 GB.
