I changed the below a little, but when I seeked to 2.1GB,
it worked fine. I am not writing like you, but reading.

#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE

#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main()
{
 int fd, ret;
 size_t count = 200;
 long long pos = (long long) 2*1024*1024*1024 + 10; // over 2G
 char buf[count];

 fd = open("/tmp/fish", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE);
 if (fd < 0){
   fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", strerror(errno));
   exit(1);
 }

 if (lseek64(fd, pos, SEEK_SET) < 0) {
   fprintf(stderr, "Failed seeking to %lld, %s\n", pos, strerror(errno));
   exit(1);
 }

 if ((ret = read(fd, buf, count)) < 0) {
   fprintf(stderr, "Failed reading: %s\n", strerror(errno));
   exit(1);
 }

 buf[ret] = 0x00;
 printf("%s\n", buf);

 close(fd);

 return 0;
}
