2 GiB is the maximum filesize for an ext3 on x86_x64 platforms.

There is no need for nagios to "handle" the perfdata.log. Nagios
only writes perfdata if you request it to do so. This data is _only_
interpreted by external tools, like pnp. They care about truncating
the perfdata once they parsed it. Since you obviously don't use
any perfdata tool - why do you write perfdata logs at all? ;)
