can someone confirm that there is a 4GB limit (or other) in the

The file size limitation is in the file system type, ext3 is the
default on CentOS.  There are other file system types that can be used
in a partitiion, such as reiser, jfs, xfs, each with their own
attributes.

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.
