Even on Linux? I'm studying a database project where the raw data is 10 to 20
Gb (it will be in several tables in the same database). Linux has a limit of 2
Gb for a file (even on 64-bits machine, if I'm correct). A colleague told me
to use NetBSD instead, because PostgreSQL on a Linux machine cannot host more
than 2 Gb per database. Any practical experience? (I'm not interested in "It
should work".)

Postgresql and NetBSD work fine together. NetBSD has not had a 2GB
file limit for _many_ years and has raidframe for configuring huge
disks from many small ones (as well as for normal raid stuff).

Cheers,
Brook
