No, 32 bit Oracle can handle files > 2 GB just fine.
Oracle has only one internal limit - a file cannot have more than 4,000,000
blocks (or near it). So for 8K blocks you can have 32 GB files.
All "tuning" has to be done on OS side, nothing on Oracle side:
1. Check ulimit
2. Try to create a file > 2B manually (using mkfile, for example)
