The reiserfs 3.6 that got merged into 2.4 supports files >2GB when you

You need to recompile your ls with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 so that it uses
stat64(). AFAIK recent gnu fileutils will do that automagically when you
configure/compile them with LFS aware glibc headers.
Generally programs cannot access files >2GB unless they were recompiled
for LFS.
