Your userspace tools are not using LFS compliant
open(O_LARGEFILE), and stat64() methods.
EXT2 got corrected to do LFS limited open() handling
at correct limit (2G-1) at around that time.
There still lurks some mis-compliance issues at
read() and write() which are still allowed to
go over 2G-1 marker without the fd having
O_LARGEFILE flag.
