large file limitation

I have 6gig of data that I need to tar up and move to my local drive and
would like to move it all in one tar file. However, my tar bombs out
after the 2g limitation. I'm running Solaris 8 with vxfs but didn't
make the file system using the largefiles option.

Is there a way to tar up a directory structure larger than 2g at this
point. I thought this was only a restriction in 2.6 and prior.

TIA
