nope:

madduck@piper:/mnt$ uname -a
Linux piper 2.4.5 #1 Mon Jul 2 18:46:48 CEST 2001 i686 unknown
madduck@piper:/mnt$ dd if=/dev/zero of=testfile bs=1024k count=2060
2060+0 records in
2060+0 records out
madduck@piper:/mnt$ ls -la
ls: testfile: Value too large for defined data type
total 8
[...]

2.4.5 apparently can't handle > 2Gb files, and as someone said, this
is most likely a filesystem issue anyway...
