Its not an error. This parameter is the maximum file size allowed on the system. In prvious versions of UNIX you would find it set to the number of bytes in 2Gb (can't remember exactly). The Oracle installer checks the output of ulimit against a number. Look in the script and find where it does the comparison. Then issue the command 'ulimit <number bigger than the one in the script>'
run root.sh again - the error will not be there.

Checkout 'man ulimit' for more info on this command
