[Zope] 2GB and NTFS

I was told by a Zope guru that the upper limit on the size of Data.fs is 2GB
on all platform... What's then?

It seems that Zope on W2K with NTFS has a 2GB limit for data.fs.

I heard that NTFS can handle files up to 4TB. Searching the archives I
found:

"The problem with file size is not in Zope, but something to do with Windows
using a 32 bit integer for file size, pegging the limit at 2 gigs. Im not
sure how some people solve this, but its a deep python / windows problem
that will not be solved any day soon.
"

Is it possible to get a data.fs bigger than 2GB on W2K with NTFS?


Has someone tried this solution?
