If you absolutely must be able to retrieve the data from that file,
you'll probably have to build a version of libc with the LARGEFILES
support enabled, then rebuild binaries of the appropriate utils (tar,
cp, whatever) against that version so they'll also support largefiles.

can't do it non-destructively unless you're using some sort of Logical
Volume Manager like the LVM project. (Which I've been using and works
great BTW.) If you've got a ReiserFS or XFS (and maybe JFS) filesystem
on an LVM volume, you can use the LVM utils to resize the volume, then
the appropriate FS utility to grow the filesystem into its new space.
