Yes its quite feasible. The only problem might be if you have multiple 
processes acessing the same file at the same time. Such as you might 
have by sharing an email spool directory.

Why would you break the filesystems up into 2G chunks? FreeBSD doesn't 
have a 2G problem. Does Clix have a problem with over 2G? And does it 
still have that problem when mounting an NFS filesystem? With that 
said, I have seen old systems report filesize and/or filesystem sizes 
wrong in ls(1) and df(1) but that didn't prevent the large NFS 
filesystem from being usable.
