No, the file system has nothing to do with it.  You can have files way 
larger than 4GB on ext3.

The reason for 2GB limit in Apache is historical, and is based on sizes 
of data types in C programming language on 32-bit platforms, taking into 
account that too many applications use signed integer for storing the 
file size.
