That's a great solution, if solaris' find supports it. Even if it does support -size, it may not support the 'M' modifier. It may require specifying in bytes followed by 'c'.

For find's that do support 'M', you can probably just write +2G.

The 'M' modifier isn't POSIX indeed. That would then be be -size +2147483648c or -size +4194304.
