I don't think the issue was with Oracle, but with older versions of Solaris. In order to speed up I/O, you used to bypass the Unix file system and place your Oracle datafiles in O/S raw partitions, which if I remember, had a 2Gb max size.
I've done exports that were more than 2Gb on Solaris in the past. What problems are you having?
