2.0 GB Max file size on linux packet captures

When I do tcpdump or snort packet captures to disk, I keep hitting a max
file size of 2GB. I've tried different versions of RedHat. From web
searches, it seems like I need to enable Large File Support (LFS), but
this doesn't seem well documented or supported. 
 
Does anyone have experience doing this or is there a linux distro that
defaults to LFS?
