It's actually not a filesystem limitation, it's a limitation on the size
of block devices... any filesystem will fall prey to that limitation.
The limitation is removed (with a config option) in the 2.5.x series.
There are patches floating around to remove the limitation for 2.4.x,
but I think I remember reading in conjunction with one of those patches
that there was still a 2tb limit on the md devices... (if you go that
route).
