People need to READ what the article says.

YES, you CAN get bigger than 2GB FILESYSTEMS, I have used them since
before the 1.0 product was released. But you CAN NOT get FILES bigger
than 2GB.

Yes, we use large FILESYSTEMS as well.

Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/dev/md/dsk/d100 15609234 15257532 39518 100% /export/cpg
/dev/md/dsk/d101 8164853 6121972 1879585 77% /export/pme

HOWEVER NONE OF THE FILES CAN BE LARGER THAN 2GB.
