The 2 gig limit is certainly gone for ext2/3, and it should be for all
filesystems that don't have some kind of limit in their on-disk layout.
As for ext2 vs ext3, you are correct as far as the on-disk layout goes.
But ext3 is a fork of the ext2 code, and there has been more than just a
little divergence. It should be possible to re-unify the two drivers at
some point in the future, but I don't think anyone is activly working on
it.
