 **TCPware:**
-According to the site http://www.process.com/products/tcpware/tcpware_datasheet.pdf  the answer is " Other restrictions that have been eliminated in the NFS v3 server include the file storage size can exceed 2-gigabytes and data transfers can exceed 8 KB."
+It appears that in version 5.6, the NFS Server was upgraded to allow NFS v3.  It is unclear what version the Client was upgraded to NFS v3, but version 6.0 definitely supports it.  Thus, the best guess is as follows:
+Pre-5.6 versions:   NFS v2 only, thus limited to 2 gigabytes.
+.0 and above:  NFS v3 is available for both client and server
-This probably means that the NFS client is still running V2.  So if you are using the NFS client you are likely bound to 2 GB, while the NFS server can exceed 2 GB.
+Between those versions the server is not limited to 2 gigabytes, but the client is limited to that size.
