how do we find the 2gb file that is causing the problem? what command should we use?

to find all files on your system larger than
1 billion bytes (roughly 1 GB), you can use:

find / -size +1000000000c

de '/' indicates the starting directory (root here)
+1000000000c indicates larger than (+) 1000000000
bytes (believe it or not, the c stands for bytes.
If you put a b instead of a c, it thinks you are
looking for 1000000000 blocks. with 1 block being
512 bytes. 

If you have a lot of files on your system, this 
command may take some time. To speed it up you can
change the starting directory.

Note: the find command is recursive and iterates
thru all directories.
