What is the output from:

Code:
uname -a

Is there only one computer involved here? i.e. no NFS or physical re-plugging of discs.

What is the Operating System and version?
Might not be Solaris, some older versions of Veritas (3.x for example) limit file sizes to 2GB by default. Is this a Veritas volume and filesystem?

Solaris 10 sets maximum file size to unlimited by default.
Solaris 9 sets the maximum file size to 2GB by default.

You may check to see what options were declared when the filesystem was mounted with the following command:
Code:
# mount

Ideally, you'll want to see options like:
Code:
read/write/setuid/intr/largefiles/xattr/...
