Hopefully this will be a trivial question, but I haven't found the answer yet
online or in Greg's FreeBSD book.

How large can a file be under FreeBSD? I've heard that under Linux the size
limit is 2gb.

It's not difficult to imagine large log files resulting from a busy web site,
but most documentation seems to be focused on minimums rather than maximums.
